Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Let rest before slicing.
- On a lined baking sheet, place your flatbreads. Spread basil pesto evenly over each.
- Layer sliced chicken, mozzarella cheese, and cherry tomatoes on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and edges are crispy.
- For extra crispiness, broil for an additional minute under supervision.
- Cool slightly before slicing; garnish with fresh basil if desired.
