BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza

I came across pre-made flatbread in the supermarket one day and decided to take a shot at pizza-making. My favorite pizzas are thin crust pizzas, and flatbread is a quick and easy option for making pizza at home. If you're really in a rush you can buy pizza sauce in a jar from the supermarket, but I've included my recipe for pizza sauce below. This is my version of a classic BBQ chicken pizza on flatbread. Enjoy!

Sauce:
Ingredients:
     1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
     4 tbsp tomato paste
     1 tbsp dried oregano
     1 tbsp dried basil
     1/2 tbsp fennel seeds
     1 tsp garlic powder
     1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
     1/2 tsp brown sugar
     1/2 tsp salt
Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to a small saucepan over low heat. Add the rest of the ingredients, and allow the sauce to simmer for 30 minutes. Cool before using on pizza.

Pizza:
     2 pre-baked flatbreads
     1 large chicken breast, cooked and sliced
     1/2 red onion, sliced
     1 cup pizza sauce
     1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
     1/2 cup barbecue sauce
     3 tbsp orange or pineapple juice
     1 tbsp honey
Preheat the oven to 425F. Lay out the two flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce out evenly on top of each flatbread. Add the chicken slices, and then sprinkle the cheese evenly over both pizzas. Break apart the red onion and top the pizza with the individual onion pieces. Next, mix together the barbecue sauce, juice, and honey in a small bowl using a whisk or a fork. Drizzle each pizza with the barbecue sauce, then place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Slice and serve.
