  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 flatbreads (4 servings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

1/3 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Salt and pepper, to taste

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place flatbreads on the baking sheet. Spread pesto evenly over each one.

3. Top with shredded chicken, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan.

4. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden.

6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

• Great use for leftover rotisserie chicken!

• Add sautéed mushrooms, red onions, or spinach for extra flavor.

• Make it vegetarian by skipping the chicken and adding more veggies.
