Quick and easy dinner on a budget! 💲

If you need a quick & easy dinner idea, you should try these bbq chicken pizza flatbreads! This recipe takes about 15 minutes total to cook, and the ingredients only cost $9.37! It was so delicious 😋

Instructions:

Set your oven to 400°

Cook the chicken to your liking, then add red onions to sauté them

Spread bbq sauce on 2 naan breads

Chop cheddar block into small chunks and sprinkle

Bake for 6 minutes

Place chicken and onions on pizza… cook for 2 more minutes

Sprinkle cilantro over the top and you’re done!

Notes: I spent $6.11 for the chicken and used 1/3 of the package. I spent $5.15 for 4 naan breads and only used 2. I spent $2.35 on a bag of red onions and only used one.

... Read moreFor those looking to whip up a quick dinner on a budget, BBQ chicken pizza flatbreads are an excellent option. Not only are they easy to prepare, but they also require minimal ingredients, making them perfect for those busy weeknights. The main ingredients for this recipe include naan bread, cooked chicken, red onions, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and cilantro. These items are typically affordable, and you can often find great deals at your local grocery store, such as Aldi, which is known for its budget-friendly prices on fresh produce and meats. To enhance your pizza experience, consider adding additional toppings like bell peppers or jalapeños for an extra kick, or substituting the BBQ sauce with ranch dressing for a different flavor profile. If you want to plan ahead, pre-cook some chicken and store it, or use leftover chicken from previous meals to save time. This recipe is customizable to fit your taste preferences and dietary requirements. Moreover, the use of naan bread not only cuts down on prep time but also provides a deliciously chewy base for your toppings. You can experiment with various sauces and cheeses to create your own signature flatbread. The flexibility of this recipe also allows it to serve as a great crowd-pleaser at gatherings or family dinners. Whether you’re a novice cook or a seasoned chef, BBQ chicken pizza flatbreads are a delightful dish that brings everyone to the table without breaking the bank!
