Ingredients

4 round flatbreads or pitas
~1/3 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for topping
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8-10 ounces cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely chopped
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Toast pitas: Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place pitas (4) softer side up on the baking sheet. It’s okay if they are a bit squished – they should shrink slightly during toasting. See photos above for how to arrange. Once the oven is preheated, toast the pitas for 5 minutes. This helps create a crisper pizza crust. When you remove the pitas from the oven, flip so the toasted side is on the bottom.
Add toppings: Assemble pizzas as follows:
- First, add about 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce to each pita and spread around with a spoon.
- Next, add about 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese to each pita (save about 1/2 cup cheese for final topping).
- Spread 2-3 ounces shredded chicken on each pita, or as much as you want on your pizzas.
- Disperse the sliced bell peppers and sliced red onions on the pitas.
- Finish with a heavy pinch of cheese on each pizza. This helps told everything together on top after it melts.
Bake pizzas: Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. Check for doneness, and add a couple more minutes if needed (depending on your oven and amount of toppings).
Serve & store: Let the pizzas cool for a couple minutes then transfer to a cutting board and slice into quarters. Top with cilantro and additional barbecue sauce. Save leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375F for 7-10 minutes.
