Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)

4 large flatbreads or pita breads

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled, depending on your heat preference)

1 cup fresh baby spinach or arugula

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for added flavor)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for brushing)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up to get that perfect crispy flatbread.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Ensure that the chicken is well-coated in sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

      Assemble the Flatbreads: Lay out your flatbreads on a baking sheet or directly on the pizza stone. Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the flatbreads, spreading it out to the edges.

        Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken. Then, add the diced red onion, jalapeños, and fresh baby spinach on top. If you choose to use feta cheese, scatter it evenly across as well for a tangy flavor.

          Bake: Place the assembled flatbreads in the preheated oven (or on the pizza stone) and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Finishing Touch: Once out of the oven, remove the flatbreads and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with a little more BBQ sauce if desired and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top for a vibrant finish.

              Serve: Cut the flatbreads into slices or quarters and serve warm. Pair these with a side of coleslaw or a refreshing green salad for a complete meal.
