Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large flatbreads (naan, pita, or thin pizza crusts)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded smoked gouda or mozzarella
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce until well coated.
  2. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush the edges with olive oil, then spread a thin layer of sauce on each. Scatter cheese, sauced chicken, and sliced red onion evenly over the top.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the flatbread edges are deep golden.
  4. Remove from the oven, top with cilantro, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce, and cut into wedges. Serve hot with lime wedges.

Notes

If you prefer a smokier flavor, use smoked gouda and finish the flatbread under the broiler for 1 minute after baking — watch it closely so it doesn’t burn.
