Flatbread pizza is a delightful variation on traditional pizza that has gained popularity in recent years. Unlike its thicker, doughy counterpart, flatbread pizza features a thin base made from unleavened dough, resulting in a crispier texture that cooks more quickly and can be topped with a variety of ingredients. The origins of flatbread can be traced back to ancient cultures, where simple bread was baked on hot stones or in rudimentary ovens. Today, flatbreads are celebrated in cuisines worldwide, from Middle Eastern pita to Italian focaccia.

Ingredients
  

2 large flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works wonderfully!)

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade for a personal touch)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped cilantro (or substitute with green onions for a different flavor profile)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, to add a tangy twist)

Olive oil (for brushing)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C), ensuring it reaches the correct temperature for optimal baking.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated with sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a large baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to encourage a crisp crust during baking.

        Assemble the Pizzas:

          - Using a spoon or spatula, spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over each flatbread, ensuring to leave a small border around the edges for a crust.

            - Evenly distribute the prepared BBQ chicken mixture over the sauce on each flatbread.

              - Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken, followed by the sliced red onion. If you desire an added layer of flavor, crumble some feta cheese over the top as well.

                Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads turn a lovely golden brown.

                  Garnish: Once finished baking, take the flatbreads out of the oven and promptly sprinkle the chopped cilantro or green onions over the hot pizzas for a burst of freshness.

                    Slice and Serve: Allow the flatbreads to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing them into pieces. Serve warm and delight in your delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza!
