Notes
For best results, use a high-quality BBQ sauce and don't overcrowd the baking sheet when cooking the chicken. Be careful when broiling the flatbreads, as they can burn quickly. Cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Get creative with toppings like pineapple, jalapeños, bell peppers, or bacon. To really boost the protein content, use high-protein flatbreads.
