Ingredients

  • 2 naan flatbreads
  • 5 ½ tablespoons BBQ sauce divided
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • ½ cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • red pepper flakes, optional
  • green onions, for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Warm the naan flatbreads directly on the oven rack for 2 minutes per side.
  • Toss the chicken with 1 ½ tablespoons BBQ sauce.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce on each piece of naan bread.
    Top each flatbread with ¾ cup shredded Colby Jack cheese, ¼ cup of BBQ chicken, and ½ of the sliced red onion.
    Optional, sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
  • Bake directly on the oven rack for 6-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown. Place a baking sheet or piece of foil on the rack below to catch any drips. 
    Serve with sliced green onions and more BBQ sauce, if desired.

Notes

Pre-baking the naan flatbread keeps the crust from getting soggy. 
If possible, use freshly shredded cheese from a block. It melts much better than pre-shredded cheese. 
Place a piece of foil or a baking sheet on the rack below the flatbread pizza to catch any drips.
