Easy BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Servings: 4–6

Ingredients

4 large naan or flatbreads
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
¾ cup BBQ sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Thinly sliced red onion, optional
Ranch dressing for drizzling, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Arrange the naan or flatbreads on a large baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with about ½ cup of BBQ sauce and toss until evenly coated.
Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over each flatbread.
Divide the BBQ chicken evenly between the flatbreads.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken.
Add thinly sliced red onion, if desired.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with ranch dressing, if desired.
Slice and serve warm.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

Any cooked shredded chicken will work for these BBQ chicken pizzas. Rotisserie chicken is one of the easiest options and makes this recipe especially quick.

You can also use leftover grilled, baked, or slow cooker chicken. It’s a great way to turn leftover chicken into an entirely different meal the next night.

Naan vs. Flatbread for Pizza

Both work well! Naan tends to be a little thicker and softer, giving you a slightly chewy pizza crust. A thinner flatbread will become crispier around the edges.

Since the crust is already cooked, there’s no waiting for dough to rise or worrying about rolling it out. Just add your toppings and bake.

Easy BBQ Chicken Pizza Toppings

The combination of BBQ chicken and melted cheese is delicious on its own, but you can easily customize each pizza.

Try adding thinly sliced red onion, bacon, jalapeños, pineapple, diced bell peppers, or fresh cilantro. A drizzle of ranch dressing after baking adds an extra creamy finish.

You could even set out several toppings and let everyone make their own flatbread pizza.

What to Serve With BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza

These flatbread pizzas are filling enough to serve on their own, but you can easily add a side for a complete dinner.

A simple garden salad, Caesar salad, fresh fruit, roasted vegetables, or raw veggies with ranch all pair well with BBQ chicken pizza.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Store leftover BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

For the best texture, reheat the pizza in the oven or air fryer until warmed through and crispy. You can also microwave individual slices when you need something quick, although the crust will stay softer.

With crispy flatbread, tender BBQ chicken, mozzarella, and cheddar, they’re ready in about 25 minutes and easy enough for even the busiest weeknight. Plus, everyone can add their favorite toppings and make their pizza exactly how they like it.
