Description

A quick and satisfying flatbread topped with shredded chicken, pesto, and gooey cheese—perfect for busy nights.


Ingredients

  • Flatbread/Naan: 2 pieces (Use store-bought for quick prep.)
  • Shredded Chicken: 1 cup (Rotisserie chicken works great.)
  • Pesto Sauce: 1/2 cup (Homemade or store-bought.)
  • Cheese (Mozzarella): 1 cup shredded (Feel free to experiment with different cheeses.)
  • Fresh Veggies: Optional (Tomatoes, spinach, bell peppers, etc.)
  • Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle after baking (Adds a gourmet touch.)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Layer flatbread on a baking sheet.
  3. Spread a generous layer of pesto over the flatbread.
  4. Top with shredded chicken, cheese, and any additional veggies.
  5. Bake in the oven until the cheese bubbles and the edges are crispy.
  6. Once done, take it out, slice it up, and optionally add fresh arugula on top.

Notes

For extra crispy crust, place flatbread directly on the oven rack during the last few minutes. Let cool for two minutes before serving to avoid burns from melted cheese.
