01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cooked and shredded) with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir in 1/2 cup BBQ sauce until the chicken is thoroughly coated for your BBQ Chicken Flatbread Recipe - Quick & High Protein Dinner.
02 - Lightly brush each of the 4 pre-made flatbreads (approx. 8-inch diameter) with 1 tbsp olive oil. Arrange the flatbreads on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space. This prepares the canvas for your delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread Recipe - Quick & High Protein Dinner.
03 - Evenly distribute 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the surface of each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.
04 - Spoon the seasoned BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer on each flatbread. Then, scatter 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion and 1/4 cup corn kernels (frozen and thawed) across the flatbreads.
05 - Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread edges are golden brown and crisp. Watch closely to prevent overcooking.
06 - Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Slice each BBQ Chicken Flatbread Recipe - Quick & High Protein Dinner into desired portions and serve immediately for a satisfying meal.
