Delight in these colorful BBQ Chicken Flatbreads. Savory chicken and veggies on top of a cheesy, BBQ coated flatbread.
I love flatbreads. They are like a thin pizza with less carbs and a lot more flavor. These BBQ Chicken Flatbreads are no exception. I combined barbecue sauce with marinara to create this BBQ Pizza flavored sauce. Then topped it with spiced chicken and fresh veggies to make a flavor-packed meal that will wow your guests.

FAQs
Other veggies I would recommend for this recipe would be bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, green onions or even corn kernels.

NOTES
Nutrition
Flatbread felt light and crispy instead of that doughy pizza vibe. Sauce was tangy, cheese melted perfectly, and the onions gave it a little zip.
We love BBQ chicken pizza at our house and these are a delicious and easy homemade version. I really liked the use of sweet peppers as a topping on it, as I’m not a big fan of bell peppers.
