8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 flatbread crusts store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cups diced grilled chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken
- 3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers
- Thinly sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating to help achieve a crispier crust.
Prepare the Flatbread:
- Arrange the flatbread crusts on two baking sheets. Lightly dust the sheets with cornmeal to prevent sticking and add a subtle crunch to the base.
Apply the BBQ Sauce:
- Divide the BBQ sauce evenly between the two flatbreads. Using the back of a spoon or a pastry brush, spread the sauce across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges for a crisp finish.
Add the Cheese:
- Evenly distribute the shredded Colby Jack cheese over both flatbreads, ensuring full coverage while leaving some space near the edges.
Layer the Chicken and Peppers:
- Scatter the diced grilled chicken evenly across the flatbreads, followed by the chopped bell peppers. Ensure the toppings are distributed for consistent flavor in every slice.
Bake:
- Place the flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. The edges of the flatbread should be crisp and golden brown.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions for a burst of freshness. Slice and serve immediately while hot.
