  2. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with ½ cup BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  3. Place flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or garlic butter to help crisp the base and add flavor.
  4. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over each flatbread (optional, for more flavor).
  5. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the base.
  6. Top with the BBQ chicken, red onion slices, and remaining cheese.
  7. Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. Slice and serve immediately while hot and melty.
