# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. This prepares your chicken for the BBQ Chicken Flatbreads | High Protein Meal Prep Dinner.
02 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook seasoned chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove from heat, let rest briefly, then shred the chicken using two forks.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 3/4 cup of the 1 cup BBQ sauce, ensuring it's well coated. This flavorful chicken is the heart of your BBQ Chicken Flatbreads | High Protein Meal Prep Dinner.
04 -
Place 4 individual flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce evenly over each. Top with the sauced chicken, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella and 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
05 -
Bake the assembled flatbreads in the preheated 400°F oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the flatbread edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
06 -
Remove the BBQ Chicken Flatbreads | High Protein Meal Prep Dinner from the oven. Garnish immediately with 1/2 small thinly sliced red onion and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Slice and serve warm for a delicious meal.
# Notes:
01 -
These flatbreads are excellent for meal prep! Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
02 -
Feel free to customize your flatbreads! Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick, or a drizzle of ranch dressing after baking for extra creaminess.
03 -
To save time, use 2 cups of pre-cooked shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breast from scratch. Adjust cooking time slightly if needed.

Naan bread provides a softer, chewier base, while pita bread offers a slightly firmer, crispier crust. Choose your favorite for these delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbreads.
