Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 lb chicken breasts trimmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup traditional bbq sauce Stubbs Original recommended
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
For the Flatbread Pizzas
  • 2 large flatbreads e.g., Mission brand 14 ounce package
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounce Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 8 ounce can pineapple crushed or chunks, drained
  • 1/3 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro washed well, stems removed
Optional
  • Ranch dressing for drizzling or serving on the side

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Tongs
  • Cutting board
  • Cookie sheet

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts in a Dutch oven or large pot. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar. Flip chicken to coat. Cover and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, flipping halfway through. This takes about 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Place flatbreads on a cookie sheet. Brush the surface of each flatbread with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border.
  3. Top the flatbreads with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sliced red onion, and drained pineapple.
  4. Once chicken reaches 165 degrees F, transfer breasts to a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the sauce in the pot and set heat to low. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more BBQ sauce or a few tablespoons of water. Simmer for 8-10 minutes while the flatbreads bake.
  5. Bake the flatbread pizzas for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.
  6. Top the baked flatbreads with the BBQ chicken and fresh cilantro. Cut into squares and serve. Drizzle with ranch dressing or serve it on the side, if desired.

Notes

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover BBQ chicken or to quickly assemble a family-pleasing meal. Feel free to adjust the BBQ sauce and toppings to your preference.
