These high protein chicken flatbreads are made with crispy baked lavash, pulled rotisserie chicken, sliced red onion, BBQ sauce, and mozzarella cheese. And when I say high protein, I mean it. Each one has more than 50 grams of protein with less than 500 calories!
There are plenty of customizations to be made, starting with the optional garnishes. I recommend some crunchy chopped bacon or pancetta, garlic chives or some type of freshly chopped herbs, and a bit of low calorie ranch.
To spice things up, I have used a homemade sauce with Calabrian chili peppers, honey, and balsamic vinegar to make crunchy Calabrian chicken pizza that would work well here. The air fried frozen chicken bites in that recipe are another easy swap for rotisserie chicken, by the way.
Not an onion fan? Swap them for freshly sliced or pickled peppers. Monterey or pepper jack cheese works as a substitute for fresh mozzarella.
There are really no wrong moves when it comes to making protein flatbreads like this. Just get some type of sauce down, add some form of chicken and cheese, and bake them in a 400ºF oven for about 15 minutes.
If you have leftover rotisserie chicken to use, I have you covered. (I recommend buying several at the same time to always have pulled chicken on hand, by the way.) Check out my high protein recipes for burritos, protein bowls, or curried chicken soup all using rotisserie chicken.
I hope you enjoy your BBQ chicken flatbreads. Recipe reviews are always nice to read if you do!
