Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the seasoned chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring they are no longer pink in the center.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assembly
- Lay the flatbreads on a baking sheet and spread a layer of basil pesto on each.
- Place the sliced chicken evenly over the pesto-covered flatbreads.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, followed by halved cherry tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese.
Cooking
- Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For extra crispiness, use the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Once done, let the flatbreads cool for a minute before slicing into pieces. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Feel free to customize toppings and use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through.
