# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This ensures your oven is ready for baking the BBQ Chicken Flatbread | Quick & High Protein Dinner.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine the 1 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded, with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
03 -
Lay the 4 individual naan flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the surface of each naan with 1 tbsp olive oil. This step creates a delicious, slightly crispy base for your flatbreads.
04 -
Evenly divide and spread the seasoned chicken mixture over each naan flatbread. Next, sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion over the chicken, creating a vibrant topping.
05 -
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the naan edges are golden brown. This is where the BBQ Chicken Flatbread | Quick & High Protein Dinner comes to life.
06 -
Carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish each with 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, and a drizzle of 2 tbsp ranch dressing. Slice into portions and serve immediately for a quick and high-protein dinner.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, you can pre-bake the naan for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
02 -
No cooked chicken? Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep, or quickly pan-sear chicken breast and shred.
03 -
Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
