Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃) and lightly spray 2 rimmed metal baking sheets with olive oil spray.
Place 2 naans per pan and spoon a desired amount of barbecue sauce on top. Spread evenly, leaving a 1/2 border or edge.
Top each one with a little cheese, chicken, bacon and more cheese.
Drizzle with a spoonful or more of the barbecue sauce over top before baking each pan on the middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and crust is golden.
Sprinkle with minced cilantro before serving.

Notes

I will cook the bacon just until crispy and then transfer it to a paper towel lined plate to drain before chopping.Then I will add 4 to 6 chicken thighs to the fat in the skillet and cook on both sides until no longer pink. Let rest and then chop.
