Some recipes have a way of becoming regulars in the meal rotation, and these BBQ Chicken Flatbreads are one of them. They come together with simple ingredients, bake in just minutes, and deliver all the smoky, cheesy, saucy flavors everyone loves.
Using store-bought flatbread keeps the prep incredibly simple, while shredded chicken, your favorite barbecue sauce, plenty of melty cheese, and thinly sliced red onion create the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the end brighten everything up and make each bite even better.
The best part? These flatbreads are easy to customize. Add your favorite toppings, swap the cheese, or make them a little spicy with sliced jalapeños. However you serve them, they’re crisp around the edges, cheesy in the center, and guaranteed to disappear fast.

How to Make BBQ Chicken Flatbread
1. Preheat your oven to 390°F. If using a pre-made pizza base, follow the instructions on the package.
2. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 3 Tbsp of BBQ sauce. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak in the flavor.
4. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce (about 1 Tbsp per flatbread) on each flatbread. Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken over the flatbread. Top with shredded cheese. Add the sliced red onion and sweet pepper (if using).
5. Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to lightly brown, and the edges of the flatbread become crispy.
6. Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Optionally, serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges.
