When you're ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Bake from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes. What type of flatbread works best for this recipe? I recommend using naan or pita bread. Both types hold toppings well. Naan offers a soft texture, while pita is slightly thicker. You can use store-bought or homemade flatbreads. Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked, and how do I prepare it? Yes, you can use raw chicken. First, season it with salt and pepper. Then, bake or grill it until fully cooked, about 20-25 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Shred the chicken before mixing it with BBQ sauce. Is this recipe suitable for meal prep? Absolutely! You can prepare and assemble the flatbreads in advance. Just store them in the fridge. When ready, bake them for a quick and tasty meal. Caloric content per serving.

Ingredients
  

2 pieces of flatbread or naan bread

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, drained if canned)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.

    In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken with half of the BBQ sauce. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated, then set the mixture aside.

      Take the flatbreads and lightly brush one side of each with olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

        Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly onto the un-oiled side of the flatbreads, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.

          Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the BBQ sauce, ensuring a good coverage.

            Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken. Next, add the sliced red onion and corn kernels evenly across the top.

              Carefully place the prepared flatbreads on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the flatbread are a delightful golden brown.

                Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes to enhance texture and prevent burns.

                  Just before serving, generously garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and slice the flatbreads into manageable pieces for serving.
