Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (divided)
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced for heat
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and garlic powder. Make a well in the center and pour in activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead dough for 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. If too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Season diced chicken with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll flatbread dough into thin ovals or rectangles.
- Transfer rolled flatbread to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and bake for 3-4 minutes.
- Spread remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over flatbread, then add BBQ chicken mixture and sprinkle with both cheeses.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, and edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with red onions and cilantro, and let cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces.
Notes
These flatbread bites are customizable. For added heat, include jalapeños. For a vegetarian option, substitute shredded veggies for the chicken.
