Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flatbread – naan or pita or even store-bought pizza dough work beautifully
- 1½ cups cooked chicken – shredded or diced rotisserie chicken is your best friend here
- ½ cup basil pesto – store-bought saves time homemade elevates flavor
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese – sliced or torn into pieces for that authentic Italian experience
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes – Roma cherry or heirloom varieties all work wonderfully
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves – chopped or left whole for garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – for drizzling and achieving that crispy crust
- Balsamic glaze – optional but highly recommended for a sweet-tangy finish
- Salt pepper and garlic powder – to taste
Instructions
- Start by warming your oven to 375°F.
- Spread the basil pesto evenly over the flatbread base.
- Distribute the cooked chicken pieces on top of the pesto layer.
- Place fresh mozzarella slices and the chopped tomatoes over the chicken.
- Drizzle olive oil lightly over everything and season with salt pepper and garlic powder according to your preference.
- Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust turns crisp.
- Remove from the oven then garnish with fresh basil leaves and add balsamic glaze if desired before serving.
Notes
- For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
