Our Old Vine Zinfandel makes a fantastic pairing with this Spicy BBQ Chicken Flatbread. The wine’s rich berry flavors and subtle hints of spice harmonize beautifully with the smoky sweetness of the BBQ sauce and the heat from the chili powder.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  •  ½ white onion, chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 pre-made flatbread
  • 1 cup extra sharp white cheddar, shredded
  • ½ cup mild cheddar, shredded
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 sprigs of green onion, chopped
  • Small bunch cilantro, chopped

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Heat up olive oil in a pan over medium heat before adding white onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until onions are translucent and soft. Add shredded chicken, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and ¼ cup BBQ sauce, mixing to fully saturate the chicken with spices. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Spread ½ cup of BBQ sauce onto the flatbread. Top flatbread with chicken and peppers, shredded cheeses, red onion, and jalapeño. Bake for 5-7 minutes in the oven, then broil for 2-4 minutes.

4. Top the flatbreads with green onion and cilantro. Slice and serve with a side of ranch.
