BBQ Chicken Flatbread Sandwich

Inspired by a poster at Panera advertising their BBQ chicken flatbread sandwich, I thought I would try to make it at home.  I basically made this up tonight, so not sure if the proportions of ingredients are quite right.

Yield: 4 large flatbread sandwiches
Ingredients
shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken *
2 packages naan bread (this is sold at Jewel by the fresh baguettes)
BBQ sauce
avocado, sliced and sprinkled with salt & pepper
1/4 thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, rinsed
1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Directions
Preheat oven to 425.
Lightly toss shredded chicken with BBQ sauce (to taste). If chicken was refrigerated, warm on a plate in the microwave until chicken is just warmed through.
Put naan bread on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with water, then bake for 3 - 4 minutes on each side, being careful not to cook too long or it will burn and get too crisp.
Take naan bread out of the oven. Layer on the BBQ chicken, red onion, avocado, cilantro, spinach leaves, and extra BBQ sauce (if desired). Fold the naan bread in half.
Enjoy!

Make Ahead Prep
* Buy a rotisserie chicken and while still warm, pull out all of the chicken from the bone and rip into smaller pieces.  This is much easier done when the chicken is still warm. Refrigerate the chicken in a tupperware.
