Ingredients
  

For the Flatbreads
  • 2 naan flatbreads
For the Topping
  • 1.5 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing edges
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Place the naan flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the edges of the flatbreads with olive oil.
  4. Divide the barbecue chicken mixture evenly over each flatbread.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and sliced red onion over the top of the chicken mixture.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flatbreads are crisp around the edges.
  7. Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Top with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
