Ingredients
  

2 large flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works wonderfully)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for an extra flavor boost)

Olive oil (for brushing)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as it will enhance the crispiness of the flatbreads.

    Prepare the Chicken Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Stir well until the chicken is fully coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Set the mixture aside.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: Lightly brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil. This step is essential as it will help achieve a crispy texture when baked.

        Assemble the Pizzas: Place the brushed flatbreads on a baking sheet or directly onto the preheated pizza stone. On each flatbread, spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly across the top, reserving a small amount if you’d like to drizzle it later for added flavor.

          Layer the Ingredients: Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken topping over the flatbreads. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the thinly sliced red onions and corn. If using, add the smoked paprika on top for an extra hint of smokiness.

            Bake: Place the assembled flatbreads in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are beautifully golden and crisp.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven. Drizzle a bit of extra BBQ sauce over the top if desired, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Slice into wedges and serve warm for a delicious meal.
