Ingredients

Barbecue Chicken

1 lb. chicken breasts , boneless, skinless, pounded flat
½ cup barbecue sauce store-bought or homemade are both OK

Flatbread

4 flatbreads 8" x 10"
½ cup pizza sauce store-bought or homemade are both OK
8 oz. mozzarella pearls
Barbecue Chicken recipe above, sliced thin
1 zucchini ribboned or sliced very thin
½ red onion sliced thin
1 purple bell pepper sliced thin (can use green if you cannot find purple!)
Basil leaves for topping

Instructions

Marinate + Grill the Barbecue Chicken

Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish or a plastic bag.
Measure in the barbecue sauce.
Transfer the dish/bag into the refrigerator, and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
Near the end of the marinating time, preheat the grill to 450°F.
When the grill is at the proper temperature, turn off the fire on one side. This is where the chicken will cook. (If you don’t do this and leave the flame on, there’s a very real chance your chicken will get burnt to a crisp because the barbecue sauce will catch fire.)
Cook the chicken until it reads 165°F on the inside. (Ours took 10-15 minutes.)
Remove from the grill, and chop into thin strips.

Make the Flatbreads

Once the chicken has cooked, cover the grill, and let the heat continue to circulate while you make the flatbreads. Leave one section of burners off so you don’t risk burning the flatbread, too.
In a glass bowl, combine the pizza sauce and barbecue sauce. Stir until combined, then set aside.
Place a flatbread on a baking sheet.
Spread some of the pizza sauce-barbecue sauce mixture on top of the flatbread.
Add the mozzarella pearls on top of the sauces.
Add the sliced BBQ chicken, ribboned zucchini, red onion slices and sweet purple bell pepper slices.
Transfer the flatbread to the preheated grill.
Grill for 5-10 minutes on the side without the flame.
When the cheese has completely melted, remove from the grill.
Sprinkle with torn basil leaves.
Slice the flatbread, and enjoy warm!
Repeat three more times for more flatbread, and enjoy!

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, you can very easily make this Grilled BBQ Chicken Flatbread in a grill pan or in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a baking sheet or a pizza stone in the oven as it preheats. When the oven is ready, remove the baking sheet/pizza stone, and assemble the flatbread on it. Bake for 4-8 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese has melted, then remove and slice.
