Forget delivery and make your own flatbread pizza recipe in minutes with this easy and delicious BBQ Chicken pizza. With about 15 minutes from prep to cook time, you’ll be sure to make this one over and over again. It’s that good!
I’m back at it after a little staycation!
All in all the weather was great! The first few days, it was so windy, but living in the windiest city in Canada (3rd windiest in the world), I have come to expect wind, LOL.
We did get a couple days of rain, which was also nice because it was an excuse to stay inside and chill.
I thought I’d ease into the week with something that’s a tad indulgent and super easy, so BBQ chicken flatbread pizza it is!
I’m obsessed with these flatbreads. They are just so darn convenient and, of course, delicious! Ever since I’ve made this BBQ chicken flatbread pizza, it’s a regular for us. Once you taste it, you’ll see why!
How To Make It
Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:
- Spread BBQ sauce over flatbreads.
- Top with cheese.
- Add thinly sliced red onion and mushrooms.
- Add cooked chicken and banana peppers.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and it is heated through.
- Carefully remove from the oven and garnish with arugula. Slice up and dig in! Easy, right?
More Fun Pizza Toppings
How cool would it be to buy a bunch of these flatbreads, assemble a little topping station and invite some friends over for a little get-together? Everyone can create their own customized pizza. Fun, right? Some other pizza toppings that I love are:
- Pizza sauce
- Pesto
- Prosciutto
- Spicy Genoa salami
- Grilled veg
- Roasted red pepper
- Goat cheese
- Feta cheese
- Spinach
- Green pepper
- Diced tomato
- Chili flakes
- A drizzle of balsamic reduction or honey
- Thin slices of grilled peach
The combinations are endless here! What are some of your favourite pizza toppings?
Tips for Making This BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza Recipe
- This flatbread pizza recipe yields two flatbread pizzas. The size of each flatbread is 200 grams each. If your flatbread is larger or smaller, you may have to adjust your ingredients accordingly.
- I cut each flatbread pizza into 2 large slices, but you can cut them smaller if you wish.
- I use fresh mozzarella here. It melts wonderfully and tastes delicious!
- Don’t like banana peppers? Leave them out. Love them? Pile more on!

Sue
Looks amazing and am making the flatbread recipe you referred to as well as I type it his. But question, it says flatbread cooks at 475 and this recipe says 425, how does all of that come together? Do I precook the flatbread at least partially and if so a what temperature Thanks
Dawn | Girl Heart Food
Hi Sue, thanks so much! Perhaps your brand of flatbread is different than the one used in the recipe, but no worries! You can certainly cook your flatbread to the recommended temperature on the packaging of the brand you have, but just watch to ensure that it doesn’t burn. Cook time may vary. You just want to make sure that the flatbread is cooked through and crispy, and the toppings are heated through and the cheese is nice and melty. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Michelle Raju
i came across this recipe as i was looking for healthier alternatives for using flatbread. I tried this for lunch and it was absolutely amazing! I used the same ingredients without the banana peppers (since i didn’t have) and added eggplant. I would definitely make this again!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
Thank you so very much, Michelle! So happy you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂 The addition of eggplant sounds lovely too.
Dana
I love flatbreads! They make for such a nice light dinner and fill the pizza void without having to actually mow down a heavy, greasy pizza. I mean, that’s definitely necessary sometimes, but a light and crisp alternative like this is so awesome to have. These photos have me droooooooling 🙂
Girl Heart Food
Totally!! Thanks so much, Dana 🙂 Happy Monday, my friend!
Katie Crenshaw | A Fork's Tale
You just broke my diet!! This recipe looks fantastic. I love the addition of the arugula. It gives such a lovely peppery taste to compliment the sweetness of the barbecue sauce. BRILLIANT!
Girl Heart Food
Haha – too funny! We always have arugula on hand – so tasty, right?! Thanks Katie! XOXO
Kitty

Ben|Havocinthekitchen
I’ve been in love with flatbread pizzas for the last year – they are so versatile, delicious, and ridiculously easy to make. So easy that I consider it’s dangerous to keep flatbread in my house; otherwise I will often be tempted 🙂 Delicious version here, Dawn!
Girl Heart Food
Totally!!! I know what ya mean 😉 Thanks so much Ben!
Mimi
Yum. These breads look good – I’ll have to see if I can find them.
Girl Heart Food
I bought them at Costco, but you should be able to get them at your supermarket where you would find tortillas and such 🙂 Thanks Mimi!
David @ Spiced
3rd windiest city in the world!? Say what? That’s nuts. But I bet you can fly a mean kite. Hah! I’m glad you guys had an awesome staycation. Both Laura and I are feeling a little stretched thin right now, and maybe a staycation (or a stayday) is in order soon. And our stayday would definitely involve pizza! We love a good BBQ Chicken pizza, and as far as toppings, we are hooked on diced jalapenos (seeded first). So good! Your flatbread version here looks delicious, my friend!
Girl Heart Food
I know. It’s surprising when its *not* windy, lol. Love jalapenos on anything!! Thanks David – hope you’re having an awesome week!
Mary Ann | The Beach House Kitchen
I make flatbreads quite often during the summer Dawn. And BBQ chicken is one of our faves. I’ll be making this soon and cooking them up on our grill! Hope you have a great week!

The hubby and I are all about the pizza on the weekends! Love that this one is customizable and comes together quickly! And having a build your own pizza bar is a great idea for entertaining!
