Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great for convenience)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of brand or homemade for a personal touch)

4 flatbreads or naan

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen, thawed if frozen)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Olive oil for brushing

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: red pepper flakes for an added kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for a perfectly baked flatbread.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Use a fork or spatula to mix thoroughly until the chicken is completely coated. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as desired.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the flatbreads or naan on the sheet. Lightly brush each flatbread with olive oil to promote a crispy, golden crust during baking.

        Assemble the Flatbreads:

          - Take the BBQ chicken mixture and evenly distribute it across each flatbread, ensuring to leave a small border around the edges for a nice presentation.

            - Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken mixture.

              - Top each flatbread with the sliced red onions and spread the corn evenly on top of the cheese.

                Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and beginning to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on it for optimal results!

                  Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the flatbreads rest for a moment. Then, generously sprinkle the fresh cilantro over the top and decoratively add the avocado slices. For those who like a little heat, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a perfect kick.

                    Slice and Enjoy: Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the flatbreads into individual servings. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful dish—it's perfect as a party platter or a comforting weeknight dinner!
