Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce & Toppings

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work best)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Base

  • 4 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through to 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest, then slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Toss the Chicken in BBQ Sauce: Place the sliced or shredded chicken in a bowl. Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and mix well to coat every piece generously, ensuring full flavor coverage.
  3. Assemble the Flatbreads: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay out the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread ranch dressing evenly over each flatbread as a creamy base layer. Then distribute the BBQ-coated chicken evenly on top of the ranch. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the chicken, followed by the thinly sliced red onion and green bell pepper slices.
  4. Bake Until Melty and Crisp: Place the assembled flatbreads in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly and the edges of the flatbreads are golden and crispy. Carefully monitor them to prevent burning.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for added freshness and flavor. Slice each flatbread into pieces and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  • Flatbreads can be replaced with naan or pita for a variation in texture.
  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce before baking.
  • Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best crispness.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute ranch dressing and cheese with vegan alternatives.
