Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into very small bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Flatbreads
- 2 flatbreads (Stonefire flatbreads recommended)
- ⅓ cup BBQ sauce, plus more for drizzling
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ⅛ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare for baking the flatbread pizzas.
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, season the diced chicken breast with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated for robust flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and browned.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the two flatbreads on a baking sheet, ready for topping.
- Assemble Pizzas: Brush each flatbread with a thin layer of BBQ sauce. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the flatbreads, then top with sliced red onion, red bell pepper, and the cooked chicken pieces.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped cilantro and drizzle additional BBQ sauce if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Cut the veggies thin: Slice the red onion and bell peppers very thinly to ensure they soften and cook properly during baking.
- Dice the chicken small: Smaller chicken pieces make the flatbread easier to eat and distribute flavor evenly.
