Flatbread Pizzas

I am a HUGE fan of BBQ Chicken flatbread pizzas! They're so simple to make and taste delicious.

Since I'm also a huge fan of simple dinners with minimal prep, I used a rotisserie chicken for these pizzas. All you have to do is assemble, pop them in the oven, and longingly wait for the delicious smell to come out of the oven.

I added pineapple to level up the flavor and give these a Hawaiian spin. You can leave it off if you prefer.

Key Ingredients

• Flatbreads - You can find these at any well-stocked grocery store. I used regular flatbreads for the fam and made myself a gluten-free one for myself.
• Spices - Salt, onion, and garlic powder amp up the flavor!
• Shredded chicken - I kept it super simple and bought a rotisserie chicken! Just pull the meat from it and you're ready to go!
• Barbecue sauce - I used Sweet Baby Ray's because it's my husbands favorite brand. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but it came out delicious!
• Pineapple - I bought a peeled and cored pineapple, then cut it into strips and small diced it. I highly recommend fresh pineapple!
• Cheese - A mixture of gouda and mozzarella is pure magic! They both melt well and taste amazing with the sweet and savory vibes.
• Red onion - Red onions vary in size! Slice it thin, then use as much or little as you like!
• Cilantro - For a pop of green and a fresh herbaceous flavor!

Instructions

Flatbread pizzas are so simple! Before you start, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. When it comes to pizza, hotter is better!

• Season the flatbread - Brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, garlic, and onion powder. Bake for 5 minutes.
• Make the BBQ chicken - In a medium bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and chicken.

• Assemble flatbreads - Brush the flatbreads with more BBQ sauce. Add the chicken, pineapple, and red onion evenly over them. The amount is up to you! Try not to overload them. Sprinkle on both cheeses!

• Bake - The cheese should be completely melted and the edges should get golden brown and crispy. IMHO, it's better to go a little too long, then not long enough.
• Serve - Slice up the pizzas, then serve warm with fresh cilantro on top.

Expert Tips

• Try to spread the toppings around evenly. You want to get all the toppings in every bite!
• Don't overload the flatbread. If you overload it, the toppings won't cook evenly and the bottom wont get crispy.
• Cook it long enough! The best way to know if it's done is by checking on it. The edges should get golden brown and crispy. The cheese should melt all the way and even get golden brown spots.
• If you're gluten-free, you can make your own flatbreads! I use this recipe with regular yogurt and it came out good. I did have to add a little bit of water to get the right consistency.

Storage

• You can defenitely store leftover pizza! Wrap the leftover slices in foil or transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• The key to good leftovers is reheating them correctly! Soggy pizza is NOT good, so never use the microwave. I reheat pizza in my toaster oven. It comes out crispy and delicious. If you don't have one, I recommend the oven.
