Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces with olive oil, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place your flatbreads on the tray.
  5. Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce evenly over each flatbread. Distribute the cooked chicken pieces, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, red onion, and finely sliced capsicum.
  6. Carefully place the tray in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Remove the tray from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander, slice, and serve immediately.
