Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Halve and peel the onion. Chop each half into 4-5 wedges.
Pop the pepper, onion and chicken thighs onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and make sure the chicken thighs are flat. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until the chicken is cooked through and the veg is soft, 16-18 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While the chicken and veg roast, pop the sundried tomato paste, tomato puree and half the BBQ sauce into a large bowl. Add the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) and mix together. Set aside. Grate the Cheddar.
Once the chicken and veg are cooked, remove from the oven. Pop the veg into the bowl of sauce. Use two forks to shred the chicken as finely as you can. Add the chicken to the sauce and mix together to combine.
Turn your oven up to 220°C. Pop the naans onto your baking tray (no need to wash). Divide your remaining BBQ sauce between them and spread with the back of a spoon, leaving a 1cm border. Top with the BBQ chicken and veg, then sprinkle over the cheese. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until the cheese is golden and bubbling, 6-7 mins.
Serve the BBQ chicken naanizzas on plates. Enjoy!
