# Instructions:
01 -
Season 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast (Savory Shreds) with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This initial seasoning is crucial for the flavor of your BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken until fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Shred the cooked chicken using two forks, then stir in 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (Sweet & Smoky Swirls). This flavorful chicken is the heart of your BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 2 individual flatbreads (Crisp Canvas) directly onto a baking sheet. Preparing your base properly ensures a perfectly crispy crust for your flatbreads.
04 -
Evenly spread the sauced BBQ chicken mixture over each flatbread. Top with 1 cup (4 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (Sweet & Smoky Swirls) and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (Bright & Creamy Accents). This assembly is key for a delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.
05 -
Bake the assembled flatbreads for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
06 -
Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Drizzle each with 2 tbsp light ranch dressing (Bright & Creamy Accents) and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (Bright & Creamy Accents). Slice and serve your amazing BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Meal Prep immediately.
# Notes:

For an even quicker meal, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and shred it before mixing with BBQ sauce.

Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in an oven or air fryer for best results.
03 -
Feel free to swap mozzarella for provolone or a cheddar blend, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
