# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1/2-inch cubes. Season the chicken with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. This is the core for your Crispy BBQ Chicken Flatbread: High Protein Dinner Delight.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Stir in 1/2 cup quality BBQ sauce, ensuring all chicken is coated. Remove from heat.
03 -
Place 4 individual flatbreads (such as naan or pre-baked pizza crusts) on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the edges of each flatbread with a small amount of the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. This helps achieve a golden, crispy base for your Crispy BBQ Chicken Flatbread: High Protein Dinner Delight.
04 -
Evenly spread the BBQ chicken mixture over each flatbread. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion over the chicken. Ensure toppings are distributed for a balanced bite.
05 -
Bake the assembled flatbreads in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread edges are golden and crispy. For the ultimate Crispy BBQ Chicken Flatbread: High Protein Dinner Delight, ensure the edges are perfectly crisp.
06 -
Remove the Crispy BBQ Chicken Flatbread: High Protein Dinner Delight from the oven. Garnish immediately with 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, and dollops of 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Add 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional), and serve with 1/2 lime wedges.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, pre-bake the flatbreads for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
02 -
Feel free to swap chicken breast for rotisserie chicken to save time, or use a plant-based chicken substitute for a vegetarian option.
03 -
Serve with a simple side salad or a drizzle of ranch dressing for an extra layer of flavor.
04 -
Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for best results.
