Ingredients

For the BBQ Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

For the Flatbread:

  • 2 large store-bought flatbreads or naan
  • 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded smoked gouda optional but recommended
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Prep the flatbreads by brushing each one lightly with olive oil, then spreading 2–3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Add the toppings — layer on the shredded chicken, mozzarella, smoked gouda, and sliced red onion.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crispy.
  • Finish and serve — pull from the oven, scatter fresh cilantro on top, and slice into pieces. Add an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce if you like things saucy.
