How to Make BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza

If you’re starting with leftover chicken you can skip this part, but here are the instructions for baking the chicken breasts if you don’t have any leftover chicken on hand.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil on the baking pan or use a nonstick baking spray.
Place chicken breasts on the baking dish, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil, and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
Bake chicken breasts about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees.
Allow to cool and then use 2 forks to shred the chicken breasts.

Spread your favorite barbecue sauce on each of the artisan flatbreads. Be sure the flat side is down and the textured side is facing up.
Cover each flatbread with a generous amount of shredded chicken.
Add a layer of shredded cheese on top of the chicken.
If you want to add additional toppings you can add them before or after the layer of cheese.
Bake directly on the oven racks or on a pizza baking stone for 7 minutes. For a crispier crust you may want to cook it a little longer.
Drizzle a little more barbecue sauce on top after cooking.
Remove from the oven and cup into squares. Enjoy!
