Ingredients
  

2 large flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small jalapeño, sliced (optional for heat)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

      Prepare the Flatbread: Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil on one side. This will help the flatbread crisp up in the oven.

        Assemble the Flatbreads:

          - Place the oiled side of each flatbread facing down on a baking sheet.

            - Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture across both flatbreads.

              - Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella over the chicken.

                - Top with slices of red onion and jalapeño (if using).

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads are crispy.

                    Garnish: Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor.

                      Serve: Cut each flatbread into slices, serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing, and enjoy your delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread!
