Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by butterflying the boneless skinless chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. In a mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken into a heated skillet, searing each side for approximately 7-8 minutes until fully cooked.
  3. While the chicken rests, preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Lay out your naan or pita breads on the baking sheet. Spread barbecue sauce over each flatbread, then sprinkle minced garlic and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Distribute sliced chicken, red bell pepper, and red onion across the flatbreads.
  6. Bake the assembled flatbreads in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, drizzle with remaining barbecue sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cilantro if desired, slice, and serve immediately.
