# Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Get ready to create a delicious High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread: Quick Dinner Delight. Cut 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1/2-inch cubes. Season with 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
03 -
Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup BBQ sauce with the cooked chicken. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is well coated and heated through. This forms the flavorful base for your High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread: Quick Dinner Delight.

Place 2 pre-made flatbreads (or naan bread) on a baking sheet. If desired, spread a thin layer of extra BBQ sauce on each flatbread before adding toppings for an extra kick for your High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread: Quick Dinner Delight.
05 -
Evenly distribute the sauced chicken over the flatbreads. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the High Protein BBQ Chicken Flatbread: Quick Dinner Delight from the oven. Drizzle each with 1 tbsp light ranch dressing. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes. Slice and serve immediately for a quick dinner delight.
