How To Make Flatbread Pizza

- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top of the pizza.

- Sprinkle red onion slices and cilantro or green onion.

BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza Tips and FAQs
- Try to evenly distribute the toppings and avoid overloading the middle. You want to make sure to get plenty of ingredients around the outside edges.
- No flatbread? No problem. You can swap French bread slices or even homemade pizza dough.
Is Pita And Flatbread The Same?
The short answer? Kind of. The biggest difference is that pita has more leavening agent which helps create a pocket in the middle of the bread round as it bakes. Flatbread is, well, flat. Both will work for this recipe. However, we find that actual flatbread will keep the toppings more secure.

Mmm, bbq chicken pizza is actually one of my favorite ways to eat pizza. I have made pita pizzas before, but not in a while. I forgot how easy and convenient it is and I think I need to get back to it. Ps. Cilantro on this will definitely be a yes - and you should try adding a little bacon next time too. YUM!
