Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large Oval Flatbread Pre-made, high quality
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce 120ml, thick and glossy mahogany style
  • 1.5 cups Mozzarella Cheese 170g, low-moisture, shredded
  • 1 cup Chicken Breast 225g, cubed and seared
  • 1/2 small Red Onion Thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano 1g
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro 5g, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil 15ml, for searing and brushing crust

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet For searing the chicken breast.
  • 1 Baking Sheet or Pizza Stone To achieve a blistered brown crust.

Method
 

Prep and Sear
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your baking sheet or pizza stone.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sear cubed chicken breast until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Remove from heat.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Spread BBQ sauce over flatbread. Add seared chicken and red onion slivers. Top with mozzarella and dried oregano.
  2. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is stringy with golden toasted spots and crust is charred at the edges.
  3. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Use a high-sugar BBQ sauce for that glossy mahogany finish.
Sear the chicken in a very hot pan to ensure it stays juicy inside.
