# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less than thirty minutes from start to finish, so you can have dinner ready before anyone gets impatient.
  • The crispy flatbread holds up beautifully under all that cheese and chicken without getting soggy.
  • You can customize it endlessly—add jalapeños, swap the onions, or drizzle extra sauce—and it always tastes like you planned it that way.
02 -
  • Don't skip brushing the flatbread with olive oil—without it, the base stays pale and soft instead of turning crispy and golden.
  • If you pile the toppings too thick, the flatbread won't crisp up and you'll end up with a soggy middle.
  • Let the flatbread cool for a minute or two after baking so the cheese sets slightly, making it easier to slice without everything sliding off.
03 -
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking the flatbread at the nine-minute mark to avoid burning the edges.
  • For extra flavor, toss the chicken in a little BBQ sauce before adding it to the flatbread—it creates pockets of intense flavor throughout.
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil; it prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
