Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 store-bought flatbreads
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone
- 1/2 small red onion, cut into half-moons
- 1/4 cup jarred jalapeno slices
- 1 habanero pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing, or to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
How To Make BBQ Chicken Flatbread?
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F / 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the shredded rotisserie chicken with half of the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the baking sheet. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over each one, leaving a small edge. Top evenly with provolone, chicken, red onion, jalapeños, and habanero slices.
- Bake the Flatbreads: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the flatbreads are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish & Serve: Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with ranch dressing, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, slice, and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Toast the Flatbread First : For an extra crispy base, bake the flatbreads for 3-4 minutes before adding the toppings. This helps prevent sogginess.
- Use Freshly Shredded Cheese : Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can prevent smooth melting. Shred provolone, mozzarella, or cheddar fresh for the best texture.
- Control the Spice Level : If you love heat, add extra habanero slices. For a milder version, skip the habanero and use only jalapeños or even sweet bell peppers.
- Spread BBQ Sauce Evenly : Leaving a small border around the edges prevents the sauce from spilling over and makes the flatbread easier to handle after baking.
- Don’t Skip the Ranch & Cilantro : The cool ranch dressing balances the heat, and fresh cilantro adds a burst of flavor. If you’re not a fan of cilantro, try parsley or green onions instead!
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover BBQ Chicken Baked Potatoes cool to room temperature. Store the chicken and potatoes separately in airtight containers. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: The shredded BBQ chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months in a sealed container.
- Reheat: Place the potato on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, checking halfway to avoid overheating.
