Indulge in the delightful flavors of Pesto Chicken Flatbread, a quick and easy dish perfect for lunch or dinner. Juicy chicken, fresh basil pesto, and gooey cheese on crisp flatbread create a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

For the Pesto Chicken Flatbread:

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 pieces of flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper (you can add garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor).
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Slice the chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  5. Prepare the flatbreads: Lay out the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of basil pesto over each piece.
  6. Assemble the flatbreads: Distribute the sliced chicken evenly over the pesto-covered flatbreads. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Bake the flatbreads: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown. Optionally, broil for the last 1-2 minutes for a crispy top.
  8. Serve: Allow the flatbreads to cool for a minute, then slice into quarters or halves. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm with a side salad or dipping sauce.
