Ingredients
  

1 large flatbread or naan

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (use rotisserie or grilled chicken)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional for a spicy kick)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.

      Prepare the Flatbread: On a baking sheet or a pizza peel (if using a pizza stone), drizzle olive oil over the flatbread and spread it evenly.

        Assemble the Pizza:

          - Spread the remaining BBQ sauce across the flatbread as the pizza base.

            - Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce.

              - Add the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the cheese.

                - Distribute the sliced red onions and pickled jalapeños (if using) across the pizza.

                  Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the flatbread pizza to the oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                    Add Fresh Flavors: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the hot pizza.

                      Slice and Serve: Let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious smoky BBQ chicken flatbread pizza!
