Directions
Making BBQ Chicken Flatbread is as easy as 1-2-3… well, actually 7! Here’s how to do it:

- Spread BBQ sauce evenly on the flatbreads, mostly to the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese all over the flatbreads.
- Scatter diced grilled chicken and chopped bell peppers on top of the cheese.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the cheese is melty, bubbly, and slightly golden.

How to Make BBQ Chicken Flatbread (Overview)
Let’s break it down! Start by heating up that oven — you want it nice and hot. While it’s warming, lay your flatbreads out and give them a sprinkle of cornmeal to keep things crisp. Then, slather on that BBQ sauce like it’s your favorite condiment (and let’s face it, it is!). 🥡
Add a generous amount of cheese, pile on the chicken and peppers as if you’re stacking them for the ultimate tower of deliciousness, and pop them in the oven. The best part? Your house will smell amazing as they cook. Pro tip: Keep an eye out for that bubbly and golden cheese; that’s the sweet spot!
How to Serve BBQ Chicken Flatbread
Let your creativity shine! Slice up your flatbread and serve it on a colorful platter for a fun presentation. Pair it with a crisp side salad or some fresh veggies for crunch. The mix of vibrant bell peppers and that gooey cheese makes this dish a feast for the eyes too! 😍
Breathe in the aroma and enjoy the contrasting textures as you dig in—each bite brings together crispy, savory, and sweet like a well-orchestrated symphony.
How to Store BBQ Chicken Flatbread
If you have any leftovers (which is rare, let’s be real!), they can hang out in the fridge for about 3 days. For longer storage, feel free to pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months! Just make sure they’re in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven for that crispy goodness.
Tips to Make BBQ Chicken Flatbread
- Timing is Everything: Bake until the cheese is bubbly; don’t be shy!
- Ingredient Swaps: If you’re not into chicken, swap it out for pulled pork or veggies for a vegetarian option.
- Texture Matters: For extra crunch, try adding toasted nuts or seeds on top just before serving.
Variation
Feeling adventurous? Spice things up by adding some jalapeños for heat or swap the BBQ sauce for a zesty buffalo sauce if you’re a fan of flaming flavors. Feeling a bit more sophisticated? Try smoked Gouda instead of Colby Jack—it’ll elevate the whole dish!
