Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 flatbread crust readymade
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 6 Ounces bacon
  • ½ red onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 Bag mozzarella shredded, or your favorite cheese
  • ½ Cup BBQ sauce

Garnishes

Instructions

Cook the Chicken and Bacon

  • Season the chicken breast thoroughly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces and fry in a pan until cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and drain most of the grease from the pan, reserving a bit in the pan to cook the chicken with.
  • Using the same pan with the reserved bacon grease, cook chicken breast until the center reaches 165°F. Set the chicken aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F.

Prepare the Veggies

  • Slice the red onion thinly, and set aside.
  • Using a peeler, peel your carrot, then continue to create thin slices of the carrot using your peeler.
  • Chop up 2 to 3 green onions, and remove the leaves from a few sprigs of cilantro.

Add the Pizza Toppings

  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull it apart into chunks, then mix in a bowl with a couple spoonfuls of your BBQ sauce.
  • Take your flatbread out and place on a cutting board or pizza peel. Brush the top of the flatbread with BBQ sauce.
  • Sprinkle a light layer of cheese over the sauce, then cover with the BBQ chicken pieces.
  • Cover the chicken with a layer of the cooked bacon, then a thick layer of cheese.
  • Add the onions and the carrots to the top of the pizza.

Bake Until Done

  • Carefully transfer your flatbread directly to a rack in the center of your preheated oven.
  • Cook for 6 or 7 minutes, checking on the pizza frequently - it may need more or less time depending on your oven.

Add Garnishes

  • When the flatbread is ready, very carefully remove from the oven and place on a cutting board.
  • Top the flatbread with green onions, cilantro, fresh black pepper, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce, then slice and serve hot.

Notes

Use cooked chicken: Saves time and ensures the meat is juicy and tender.
Watch the oven closely: Flatbreads cook fast, so don’t walk away.
Don’t overload with sauce: Too much BBQ sauce can make the crust soggy.
Layer cheese wisely: Start with a little under the toppings and more on top for best melt.
