Ingredients

  • 2 pieces of naan
  • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 2 cups cooked chicken see note 1
  • 1/2 red onion sliced thin
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese see note 2
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the naan on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on each piece of naan. Toss the rest of the BBQ sauce with the shredded chicken and sliced onion in a medium bowl.
    2 pieces of naan, 3/4 cup BBQ sauce, 2 cups cooked chicken, 1/2 red onion
  • In a bowl, mix the cheeses together. Add a little to each piece of naan. Then divide the chicken and onion mixture among the two pieces of flatbread. Top with the remaining cheese.
    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Place in the preheated oven for ten minutes or until the cheese is beginning to brown. Top with chopped cilantro and enjoy!

Notes

  1. You need 2/3 pound of raw chicken to get two cups of shredded chicken. You can boil it for 4 to 10 minutes or until it is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend using an instant read thermometer to avoid over-cooking it. Alternatively, rotisserie chicken works great here.
  2. If you want to get the melty cheese look you see in the photos, you should buy a block of mozzarella and a block of cheddar cheese and shred them at home. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in preservatives that don't allow it to melt like this.
