Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss 1 cup cooked shredded chicken with 1/3 cup BBQ sauce until fully coated.
Step 2: Place 2 store-bought flatbreads on the baking sheet and brush each with 1 tbsp olive oil evenly to help crisp the crust.
Step 3: Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the flatbreads, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese on top.
Step 4: Scatter 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion over the cheese and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and edges of the flatbread are golden and crisp.
Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before slicing and serving warm.
