Ingredients
  

1 large flatbread or pizza base (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional for added heat)

Olive oil for brushing

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature will ensure that your flatbread becomes crispy and delicious.

    Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce. Stir well to ensure that all the chicken pieces are evenly coated in that tangy sauce.

      Assemble the Flatbread: Take the flatbread and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Lightly brush a thin layer of olive oil across the surface of the flatbread, which will help it crisp up beautifully while baking.

        Layer the Ingredients: Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the flatbread, making sure to cover it generously. Next, sprinkle the corn kernels, followed by the thinly sliced red onion, and jalapeños (if using) on top. To finish, add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring every bite will be cheesy and delicious.

          Season: Gently season the topped flatbread with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavors of the ingredients.

            Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. You are looking for the cheese to melt and become bubbly, while the edges of the flatbread turn a lovely golden brown and become crispy.

              Garnish: Once baked, carefully remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool for about a minute. Just before serving, sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro on top for a burst of color and flavor.

                Serve: Cut the flatbread into squares or wedges for easy serving. Enjoy it hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.

                    Presentation Tip: Serve on a wooden cutting board or a colorful platter to enhance the visual appeal, and consider placing small bowls of extra BBQ sauce and sliced jalapeños nearby for a fun, interactive dining experience!
