Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza is one of my son’s favorite meals when we dine out.

We usually get it as an appetizer at TGIF’s. That restaurant knows how to make fantastic food. While I would love to dine out every night, it becomes a bit draining on the pocketbook. Now that I own a few air fryers, I vowed to spend less money on takeout. So, this month I am all about creating some excellent air fryer copycat recipes.

Since both kids are teenagers, they are always hungry, and I always mean hungry. They are always looking for something to eat, so they don’t mind eating my air fryer failures.

I tried three times to get this recipe correctly. My youngest son loved the BBQ chicken flavor. My other son wanted to know if I could make a pepperoni one for him. I guess both kids can never like the same thing! I laughed and told him that that’s not on the menu today, but I’ll make it soon.

Some Crust Suggestions:

When you are making any flatbread, the first thing to remember is you need to start with the perfect crust, the right building block for your pizza, flatbread, or calzone.

My favorite brand is Mama Mary’s, which has the correct balance of size and firmness for the air fryer. Another great thing, when you make flatbread or pizza’s at home, is that you can make them suit your lifestyle, gluten-free, KETO, low carb, etc.

As most of my loyal readers know, my oldest son has a gluten allergy, and I get many suggestions for bread, dough, and other products for an excellent gluten-free product.

My favorite gluten-free flatbread crust is, Against the Grain. I find that it stays firm, but crisps up nicely in the air fryer.

There is nothing like a hot pizza or flatbread directly from the oven. It’s hot, and the cheese is gooey. It has the right combination of soft and crispy! It’s a family favorite and so kid-friendly! 

Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Flatbread

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Flatbread

• 1/4 cup Chicken, already cooked
• 1/8 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 flatbread crust
• 4 tablespoons BBQ sauce (any type)
• 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

How To Make Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Flatbread

1. Start by preheating your Air Fryer to 200 degrees C or 390 degrees F.
2. Start by prepping your ingredients, shred the chicken, and dice the cilantro.
3. Then mix the cilantro and chicken.
4. Then decide on the optimal size of the flatbread. If the piece fits, you don’t need to do anything. Otherwise, cut the flatbread, so it fits inside the air fryer.
5. Spread the BBQ Sauce over the flatbread pizza crust.
6. Then sprinkle the chicken mixture over the BBQ sauce and then spread the mozzarella cheese over that.
7. Then set the time for 5 minutes.
   Note: The actual time will depend on the flatbread used and the wattage of your air fryer.
   Tip: For perfect cooking, check frequently.

 

Note: There is no way that this flatbread is going to fit in my air fryer.

So, I cut it with my trusty scissors. If you don’t have kitchen shears that are dedicated to your kitchen, pick up a pair.

These are my favorite.

In a small bowl, mix the chicken and the cilantro.

Spread your BBQ sauce directly on the flatbread.

Then garnish with the chicken and cilantro.

Then place the flatbread in your air fryer, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over it.

How To Store & Reheat:

To keep your leftover pizza fresh for up to 2 days, wrap the leftover pizza in aluminum foil and refrigerate.

For best results reheat in either the air fryer or the microwave. Heat until warmed through. 

Here are some pizza topping suggestions:

Pizza is one of the most popular foods in America, but it’s also one that can be made in many different ways. Some people love to top their pizzas with just cheese or pepperoni, while others opt for more exotic toppings like pineapple and anchovies. Whatever your preference, there are plenty of pizza topping combinations to choose from!

Some great suggestions are:

• Pepperoni Pizza: Shredded Mozzarella and Sliced Pepperoni
• Supreme Pizza: Pizza Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Cooked Bacon, Sliced Pepperoni, Mushrooms, and Olives.
• Hawaiian Pizza: Ham and Pineapple
• Sausage and Kale: Pizza Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Cooked Sausage and Kale.
