  • 1 cup fresh basil pesto Choose high-quality pesto or make it yourself.
  • 4 pieces flatbread Opt for whole wheat or gluten-free options if desired.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-packaged varieties.
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes Halved, these add a burst of freshness to every bite.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Enhances the cheesy goodness with its sharp flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use extra virgin olive oil for added richness.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. Lay out the flatbreads on a baking sheet and spread a layer of basil pesto on each.
