Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s essential to have the oven ready while you assemble your pizza so that it cooks evenly and quickly.
Step 2: Prepare the Flatbread
- Take your large flatbread and lay it out flat on a baking sheet. Make sure the sheet is big enough to accommodate the flatbread without folding.
Step 3: Apply the Barbecue Sauce
- Pour the barbecue sauce over the flatbread. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to spread it evenly all the way to the edges. A generous layer adds flavor and ensures no dry bites.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
- Now it’s time for the cheese! Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack evenly over the barbecue sauce. This cheese melts beautifully and gives that gooey texture we all love.
Step 5: Top with Chicken
- Next, take your chopped chicken and scatter it across the cheese. If you’re using any leftover chicken, make sure it’s shredded properly to distribute evenly and get maximum flavor with each bite.
Step 6: Finish with Veggies
- Now, it’s time for the red onion slices. Disperse them throughout the pizza for a tangy crunch. If using chopped bell pepper and cilantro, sprinkle them on at this stage as well.
Step 7: Bake the Pizza
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Let it bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on it as every oven is a bit different!
Step 8: Slice and Serve
- Take the pizza out of the oven carefully. Allow it to cool for a minute before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious explosion of flavors!
Notes
- Don’t hesitate to experiment: Swap in different proteins, like turkey or beef, to suit your taste preferences.
- Make it spicier: Add jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an added kick.
- Use different sauces: Try a spicy barbecue sauce or a teriyaki glaze for a different flavor profile.
- Brush the edges: For added flavor, brush the edges of the crust with olive oil before baking.
- Serve with dipping sauces: Ranch or garlic sauce is a delightful addition for dipping your slices.
