# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. This smoky protein is key for your High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread. Set aside.
03 -
Place 2 pieces naan bread on a baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (low sugar preferred) evenly over each naan, leaving a small border. This forms the delicious base for your High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread.
04 -
Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the BBQ sauce. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the cheese layers.
05 -
Top with 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the naan edges are golden brown.
06 -
Remove the High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread from the oven. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and an optional drizzle of 1 tbsp light ranch dressing. Slice and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time even further.
02 -
Serve with a simple side salad for a complete and balanced meal.
03 -
Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning or a dash of hot sauce to your BBQ sauce.
