Flatbread pizza is a simplified version of traditional pizza, distinguished primarily by its thin and crispy base. Unlike standard pizza crusts, which often require rising time and yeast for that classic fluffy texture, flatbreads are typically made without yeast, resulting in a quicker cooking time and a denser, chewier texture. This makes flatbread pizza an excellent option for those who want to whip up something delicious without the lengthy preparation involved in traditional pizza-making.

Ingredients
  

2 large pieces of flatbread

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

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand for flavor)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup corn kernels (you can use canned or fresh)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature will help achieve a perfectly crispy flatbread.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if you enjoy a bit of heat. Stir until the chicken is well coated in the sauce.

      Set Up the Flatbread Base: Arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the top of each flatbread with olive oil, which will help promote a crispy, golden texture during baking.

        Spread BBQ Sauce: Using a spoon or spatula, evenly spread the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce across each flatbread, making sure to leave a small border around the edges.

          Assemble the Toppings: Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the sauced flatbreads. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, then add the thinly sliced red onion and corn kernels.

            Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye out for the cheese becoming bubbly and the edges of the flatbread turning a lovely golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the pizzas are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro on top for a burst of flavor. Allow the pizzas to cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges. Serve warm, and enjoy!
