Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large flatbread – naan or pita or store-bought pizza dough
  • 1½ cups cooked chicken – shredded or diced rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup basil pesto – store-bought or homemade
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese – sliced or torn into pieces
  • 2 cups fresh tomatoes – Roma or cherry or heirloom varieties
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves – chopped or whole for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil – for drizzling and crisping crust
  • Balsamic glaze – optional for a sweet-tangy finish
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder – to taste

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to start warming it up.
  2. Lay the flatbread on a baking sheet and brush it lightly with olive oil all over for a golden, crisp crust.
  3. Spread the basil pesto evenly across the flatbread surface.
  4. Scatter the cooked chicken pieces on top of the pesto layer.
  5. Add fresh tomato slices and then arrange the fresh mozzarella pieces evenly.
  6. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder over everything for an extra flavor boost.
  7. Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts and edges are crispy.
  8. Once baked, remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves.
  9. If you like, drizzle balsamic glaze over the flatbread for a tangy-sweet touch before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation. Feel free to experiment with different flatbreads or tomatoes based on your preference. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently in an oven or air fryer.
