Ingredients
1 pre-made flatbread
1/4 cup barbecue sauce (or more if you prefer a “saucier” pizza)
Shredded Cheddar cheese

Toppings Ideas: diced red onion, diced bell pepper, cooked bacon, pineapple
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Drizzle flatbread with Chipotle Olive Oil and cover with barbecue sauce.
- Top with cheddar cheese then add your cooked chicken and the rest of your desired toppings.
- Place directly on middle rack and bake for 9-12 minutes, or until crust is crispy and cheese is melted. (For a softer crust, bake on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes.)
- Remove from oven and drizzle with AOOC Pineapple Balsamic.
