Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: If using raw chicken breasts, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat the chicken lightly with olive oil, season with oregano, tarragon, and salt. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Mix Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, ensuring it's well-coated. Optionally add minced garlic.
Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread BBQ chicken mixture over flatbreads. Top with garlic, mozzarella, bell pepper, and onion.
Bake the Flatbreads: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake assembled flatbreads for about 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve: Let cool for a minute, top with cilantro, slice, and serve warm.
