Ingredient Breakdown
To make this delightful BBQ Chicken Flatbread, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Flatbread: You can use store-bought or homemade flatbread; either works well! It acts as the perfect base for your toppings.
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded: If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, this is a fantastic way to use it up.
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce: Choose your favorite brand, there are so many fun flavors to experiment with!
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: How can you go wrong with gooey, melty cheese? Feel free to mix it up with cheddar or pepper jack for some extra kick!
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced: For a little bite and crunch!
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped: This adds a fresh, vibrant note to the flatbread.
Ingredient Notes
You can totally switch out the proteins and toppings based on what you have! For instance, pulled pork or turkey could also work. Feeling adventurous? Try adding some jalapeños for heat or replacing the BBQ sauce with ranch dressing for a twist!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your flatbread gets nice and crispy.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well coated. This is the juicy flavor bomb you’ve been waiting for, so stir it up good!
Place your flatbread on a baking sheet. It could be one big piece or several smaller ones, whatever suits your family best!
Spread the BBQ chicken evenly over the flatbread. You want to ensure every bite has that delicious BBQ flavor!
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, covering the chicken like a warm, cheesy blanket.
Add the sliced red onion and chopped cilantro on top. These will add a pop of color and extra flavor!
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The smell will be amazing, just wait!
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm. You can garnish with more cilantro if you like, but trust me, it’s perfect as is!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Flatbread
I love serving this BBQ Chicken Flatbread alongside a fresh side salad or some crispy sweet potato fries. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for a fun twist!
Storage
If you have leftovers (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep well for about 3-4 days.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, pop it back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, or you can microwave individual slices for about 30-45 seconds. Just be mindful that a microwave can make it a tad soggy!
Freezer Friendly
You can freeze the flatbread before baking. Just assemble it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. It will keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, just bake it directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time!
