# Instructions:
01 -
Dice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink, creating the protein core for your Savory BBQ Chicken Flatbread - High Protein Dinner.
02 -
Reduce heat to low. Add 1 cup savory BBQ sauce to the cooked chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the chicken with flavor for your Savory BBQ Chicken Flatbread - High Protein Dinner. Remove from heat.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange 4 pre-made flatbreads (or naan bread) on a large baking sheet. This ensures they're ready for assembly and baking, contributing to the crisp foundation of your Savory BBQ Chicken Flatbread - High Protein Dinner.
04 -
Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the 4 flatbreads. Sprinkle each with 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese. Top with 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
05 -
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread edges are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning, ensuring a perfect Savory BBQ Chicken Flatbread - High Protein Dinner.
06 -
Remove from oven. Drizzle each flatbread with 2 tbsp light ranch dressing. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Slice and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispness, pre-bake your flatbreads for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
02 -
Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
