Italian Chicken Flatbreads : Pesto, Mozzarella & Roasted Tomato Magic

Italian Chicken Flatbreads : Pesto, Mozzarella & Roasted Tomato Magic


  • Author: OliviaBennett

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 flatbreads or naan (any sturdy flatbread works)

  • 1 cup cooked roasted chicken, shredded

  • 1/3 cup basil pesto (jarred or homemade)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 12 tsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: fresh basil leaves & balsamic glaze for finishing


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven
    Preheat to 400°F (200°C).

  • Roast Tomatoes
    Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes until skins wrinkle and caramelize.

  • Assemble Flatbreads
    Spread pesto evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border. Top with shredded chicken, then mozzarella. Arrange roasted tomatoes on top.

  • Bake
    Place flatbreads on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack/pizza stone. Bake 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are crisp.

  • Finish & Serve
    Remove from oven, sprinkle with torn fresh basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if using. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Roast tomatoes to reduce moisture and prevent soggy flatbreads.

  • For extra-crispy bases, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone or oven rack.

  • Pat fresh mozzarella dry before baking to avoid extra water.

  • Flatbreads can be prepared ahead—assemble just before baking.
