Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep Chicken: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce and mix to coat.
Brush Flatbreads: Lightly brush flatbreads with olive oil and place them on the baking sheet.
Add Sauce & Cheese: Spread ~2 tablespoons BBQ sauce on each flatbread. Add a thin layer of shredded cheese.
Assemble Toppings: Top with BBQ chicken, sliced onions, corn, jalapeños (if using), and the remaining cheese.
Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Garnish: Remove from oven, drizzle remaining BBQ sauce, sprinkle with cilantro, and let rest 2 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Swap flatbread with pita or homemade pizza dough
Use low-sugar BBQ sauce for a healthier twist
Add extra vegetables like bell pepper or spinach
Pre-bake flatbreads for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness
Avoid overloading with toppings to keep the crust crisp
