Equipment
- 1 oven preheated to 425°F
- 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 bowl for tossing chicken
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads naan, or flatbread crusts
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken rotisserie or leftover
- ½ cup BBQ sauce your favorite
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese optional
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce in a bowl until evenly coated.
- Place flatbreads on the baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil or garlic butter if desired.
- Optionally spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over each flatbread.
- Sprinkle half of the cheese on each flatbread, add BBQ chicken and red onion, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are golden.
