In the last minute of cooking, stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Remove pan from heat. Stir in BBQ Sauce and a splash of water (we used 2-3 tbsp; 4-6 tbsp for 4 servings) until chicken is coated. Meanwhile, place flatbreads on a baking sheet . Toast on top rack until golden, 3-4 minutes ⏱️ 4 minutes . (For 4, divide flatbreads between two sheets. Toast on top and middle racks, swapping positions halfway through.)
