Ingredients

Scale

2 pieces of flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 2 medium chicken breasts)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
1–2 jalapeños, sliced (adjust based on spice preference)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle each with olive oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken with barbecue sauce and spread the mixture evenly across the flatbreads.
Layer the sliced red onions, followed by the shredded cheese.
Add sliced jalapeños and bake for about 10–12 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the baked flatbreads before serving.

Notes

If using raw chicken, ensure it is cooked throughly before adding to the flatbread. For a gluten-free version, ensure your flatbread choice is suitable. The recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for quick meals.
