This recipe is easy entertaining at its finest.
Marinate + Grill the Barbecue Chicken
2 Place [wprm-ingredient text="1 lb. chicken breasts" uid="1"] into a baking dish or a plastic bag.
3 Measure in [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup barbecue sauce" uid="2"].
4 Transfer the dish/bag into the refrigerator, and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
5 Near the end of the marinating time, preheat the grill to 450°F.
6 When the grill is at the proper temperature, turn off the fire on one side. This is where the chicken will cook. (If you don’t do this and leave the flame on, there’s a very real chance your chicken will get burnt to a crisp because the barbecue sauce will catch fire.)
7 Cook the chicken until it reads 165°F on the inside. (Ours took 10-15 minutes.)
8 Remove from the grill, and chop into thin strips.
Make the Flatbreads
11 Once the chicken has cooked, cover the grill, and let the heat continue to circulate while you make the flatbreads. Leave one section of burners off so you don’t risk burning the flatbread, too.
12 Place [wprm-ingredient text="2 flatbreads" uid="4"] onto a sheet pan to assemble.
23 Combine the [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup pizza sauce" uid="5"] and [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup barbecue sauce in a glass bowl" uid="12"]. Stir until combined, then set aside.
14 Spread some of the pizza sauce-barbecue sauce mixture on top of the flatbread.
15 Add the [wprm-ingredient text="8 oz. mozzarella pearls" uid="6"] on top of the sauces.
16 Divide and add the [wprm-ingredient text="Barbecue Chicken" uid="7"], ribboned [wprm-ingredient text="1 zucchini" uid="8"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup pickled red onion" uid="9"] and [wprm-ingredient text="1 bell pepper" uid="10"] to the flatbread.
17 Transfer the flatbread to the preheated grill.
18 Grill for 5-10 minutes on the side without the flame.
19 When the cheese has completely melted, remove from the grill.
20 Sprinkle with torn [wprm-ingredient text="Fresh basil leaves" uid="11"].
21 Slice the flatbread, and enjoy warm!
22 Repeat three more times for more flatbread, and enjoy!
