# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This initial step sets the stage for your delicious Quick BBQ Chicken Flatbreads with 30g Protein.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine 7 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded, with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
03 -
Place the 2 individual flatbreads (naan or pita style) on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each flatbread lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil. This helps them crisp up nicely during baking for your Quick BBQ Chicken Flatbreads with 30g Protein.
04 -
Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly between the two flatbreads. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the chicken, followed by 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
05 -
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
06 -
Carefully remove the Quick BBQ Chicken Flatbreads with 30g Protein from the oven. Garnish each with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately with 2 lime wedges.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, swap the chicken for canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) or pre-cooked plant-based chicken strips. Adjust seasoning as needed.
02 -
Shred the chicken and mix with the BBQ sauce and spices ahead of time. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, making assembly even faster.
03 -
Pair these flatbreads with a simple side salad tossed with a light vinaigrette for a complete and balanced meal.
04 -
For an extra crispy flatbread, pre-bake the plain flatbreads for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
