Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flatbread
- 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- ½–¾ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth (if needed for shredded chicken)
- ½ cup pineapple chunks (drained if canned)
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Monterey Jack with jalapeño peppers, shredded
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- If making shredded BBQ chicken: place chicken breast in a crockpot with BBQ sauce, chicken broth, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–4 hours until tender, then shred.
- Place flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread minced garlic evenly over the surface.
- Bake flatbread on the middle rack for 3 minutes to lightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and spread BBQ sauce over the flatbread.
- Top with shredded BBQ chicken, pineapple chunks, red onion, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Return to oven and bake for 7–9 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden.
- Remove from oven. Top with fresh cilantro and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Drain pineapple well to prevent a soggy flatbread.
- Thinly slice the red onion so it softens during baking.
- Rotisserie chicken can be used for a faster version.
- For extra spice, add crushed red pepper or use spicy BBQ sauce.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
