Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (you can use rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, grated or julienned
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced (green parts only)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Water (as needed, to thin the sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help crisp up the flatbreads and melt the cheese perfectly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced red bell pepper, grated carrots, and green onions. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss until everything is well coated.
  3. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over each flatbread, ensuring even coverage for consistent cooking.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the chicken and veggie mixture. This will create a gooey, cheesy layer that ties all the flavors together.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning — you want the edges of the flatbread to be crispy and the cheese to be nicely melted.
  6. While the pizza is baking, prepare the spicy peanut sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Gradually add water until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
  7. Once the flatbreads are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle the spicy peanut sauce generously over the top.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal. Slice and serve immediately!

Keywords: To ensure your flatbreads don't get soggy, make sure to drain any excess moisture from the cooked chicken and vegetables before topping them. For a crispier crust, consider baking the flatbreads for a few minutes on their own before adding the toppings.
