Grilled Flatbread Pizzas on the Blackstone Griddle
Pizza nights are a cherished tradition in our household, a moment to unwind after a long week, enjoy a slice of pizza, and watch a movie or show. As I contemplated exciting new griddle recipes to try out this summer, it struck me: why not make a flatbread pizza on the grill, or in our case, the griddle?
While classic pizza toppings like cheese, pepperoni, and sausage are always a crowd-pleaser, I was determined to take this Blackstone Griddle pizza to the next level.
I brainstormed several recipe ideas but ultimately settled on two – yes, you’re in for a treat with a two-in-one blog post! When I think of summer, a few things come to mind: BBQ, pineapples, and jalapeño poppers are among my personal favorites. So, I decided to infuse the essence of summer into flatbread pizzas grilled to perfection on the Blackstone Griddle.
The steps for creating these delectable Jalapeño Popper and BBQ Chicken flatbreads are quite similar, with only a few slight variations. I’m all about simplifying and making camping food easy, so I opted for store-bought flatbreads, but feel free to make your own from scratch if you prefer. Below, you’ll find the ingredients and instructions to craft these irresistible Blackstone griddle pizzas, which work great as either an appetizer or the main course.
P.S. Blackstone recently came out with an Outdoor Pizza Oven that this recipe would be perfect for!
Jalapeno Popper Flatbread Pizza
Ingredients
- Flatbread of your choice (I like Stonefire Artisan Flatbreads. You could also use naan bread too).
- 3-4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 oz. shaved Parmesan
- 3 oz. shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 2-4 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2-3 large jalapeños, sliced
- As much or as little fresh cilantro as you’d like to add
Instructions
1. Get your grill or griddleheating up.As your grill or griddle is heating up, prepare your ingredients.
2. Fry your bacon.Is there anything better than the sound of bacon sizzling??
3. While the bacon is cooking, slice up the jalapeños.
4. Once the bacon is done, place it on paper towels to cool and thencrumbleit.
5. Toast the flatbread. To achieve a perfect crispness, toast the top side (where your toppings will go) before flipping it over and adding the toppings. This step should take approximately one to two minutes.
6. Remove the flatbread from the griddle andspread cream cheeseon it.
7. Return the flatbread to the grill or griddle andtopwith cheddar, parmesan, crumbled bacon, and sliced jalapeños. Leave it on until the bottom of the flatbread istoasted, and the cheese on top ismelted.
Pro Tip – Consider purchasing a basting cover to ensure the cheese on the pizza gets fully melted. This is also useful for things like steaming veggies or melting cheese slices on burgers.
8. If you desire,sprinklesome chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. Slice and serve.
BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza
Ingredients
- Flatbread of your choice (I like Stonefire Artisan Flatbreads. You could also use naan bread too).
- 2-3 chicken tenders (can use chicken breast instead if needed)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2-1 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded (to be honest I didn’t measure just sprinkled on until it covered the pizza)
- About 1/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (again, I didn’t measure
) - 1/4 – 1/2 cup freshly diced pineapple
- 1/4 cup red onions, diced
)Instructions
1. As your grill or griddle is heating up,mixbrown sugar and the spice mixture in a bowl.Rubboth sides of the chicken tenders with the spice mixture.
2. Grill the chicken tendersfor about four minutes on each side, or until they reach a minimum temperature of 165 degrees. A digital thermometer comes in handy to ensure your food is perfectly cooked.
3. While the chicken is cooking,choppineapple and red onion. If there’s room on the griddle, begin grilling the pineapple and onion.
4. Toast your flatbread.Start by toasting the top side and then flip it over. Each side will need just a few minutes. You can adjust the time based on your preferred level of crispiness.
5. Spread barbecue sauce on top of the flatbread,sprinklewith cheese, andtop with sliced chicken, grilled pineapples, and red onion.
6. Cook until the cheese is perfectly melted. Remove the flatbread from the griddle, slice, and serve.
