Loaded BBQ Chicken Flatbread
My BBQ Chicken Flatbread is loaded with veggies, homemade BBQ chicken and topped with avocado green goddess dressing for a satisfying balanced dinner.
Servings: 4.5
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic pressed
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more for topping
- 1 x 8x10” flatbread
- ⅓ cup low sugar BBQ sauce
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup shredded or cubed chicken rotisserie or thin sliced chicken breast
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
For topping:
- 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoon avocado green goddess dressing you can use THIS recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes. Brush the oil mixture over the top of the flatbread. Place the flatbread directly on the bottom rack of the oven for about 10 minutes to get the crust crispy (for a softer crust, place on a baking sheet).
- Once the crust is ready, place it on a baking sheet and spread an even layer of BBQ sauce on the crust. Layer with cheese (save some to add at the end), chicken, bell peppers, red onion and an additional layer of cheese. Top with parmesan cheese.
- Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. If desired, change the oven to broil for the final 5 minutes to get the cheese browned.
- Top with cilantro, a drizzle of additional BBQ sauce and avocado green goddess dressing if desired and slice into 9 equal sized- pieces.
Notes
You may also make this recipe using a grill or barbeque instead of an oven for the ultimate summer meal.
BBQ instructions: Set temperature to medium on both sides of the grill (leaving the middle heat OFF). Brush each side of the flatbread with the olive oil mixture. Place the flatbread in the middle of the grill between the two sources of heat and allow to cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. Once the flatbread is warm-spread BBQ sauce over the flatbread, and layer with toppings. Close the grill and cook for 10-15 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the grill, slice, and serve hot.
