Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into very small bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Main Ingredients

  • 2 flatbreads (Stonefire flatbreads recommended)
  • ⅓ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/8 small red onion, thinly sliced

Garnish

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread pizzas.
  2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, season the diced chicken breast with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
  4. Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet, making sure they lay flat and are ready for toppings.
  5. Add Toppings: Brush each flatbread with a thin layer of BBQ sauce. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the surface, then arrange the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and cooked chicken on top according to your preference.
  6. Bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the flatbreads become golden brown and the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped cilantro, and drizzle extra BBQ sauce on top, if desired. Slice and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
  • Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time; just toss with the seasoning and add directly to the flatbreads.
  • To make this gluten free, substitute the flatbread with a gluten-free variety.
  • Leftover flatbread pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with other vegetables like jalapeños or corn for extra flavor.
