Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread
- 1 batch pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
Toppings
- Shredded rotisserie chicken – about 2 cups
- BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Vidalia Onion recommended) – 1/2 cup
- Goat cheese, crumbled – 1/2 cup
- Radishes, thinly sliced – 6 to 8 radishes
- Baby arugula – 1 cup
- Balsamic vinegar (optional) – 1 to 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill: Set up your grill for indirect cooking over medium heat, ensuring the temperature is moderate for even cooking without burning.
- Shape the Dough: Divide the pizza dough into four equal pieces. Press and stretch each piece into a flatbread shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Grill the Flatbreads: Place flatbreads on the grill grates directly and cook until the underside is browned and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Toppings: Remove flatbreads from direct heat and spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce over each. Top evenly with shredded chicken, crumbled goat cheese, and thinly sliced radishes.
- Finish Cooking: Return the flatbreads to the grill, using indirect heat to melt the goat cheese and heat through the toppings without burning, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Fresh Greens and Serve: Remove flatbreads from the grill, top with fresh baby arugula, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use medium heat on the grill to avoid burning the dough while melting cheese.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the flatbreads in a hot skillet or bake them in a preheated 450°F oven for a crisp base.
- Balsamic vinegar is optional but adds a nice acidic contrast to balance the rich cheese and BBQ sauce.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly and adds convenience to this recipe.
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before finishing cooking.
