Description

This easy BBQ chicken flatbread is loaded with flavor, ready in minutes, and tastes better than any restaurant version! 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken, rotisserie or leftover
  • 14-15 oz. store-bought prepared flatbread or naan bread
  • 2 cups shredded Gouda cheese
  • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh sweet corn
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Mix BBQ sauce with garlic. Add 1/4 cup BBQ sauce to the diced chicken and toss to combine. Taste the chicken and if needed, season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining BBQ sauce. Add cheese, onions, chicken, and corn.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the edges of the flatbread are golden crisp. Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  5. Right before serving, drizzle with a little extra BBQ sauce, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes, if desired. Slice the flatbread and serve.

Notes

  • Gouda: Make sure to use the semi-soft mild Gouda and not the hard, aged Gouda.
  • Corn: For best flavor, use sweet summer corn. Simply cut the kernels off the cob and add them to the flatbread.
