Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 4 pieces of flatbread about 6-8 inches each

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and basil pesto, mixing until the chicken is well coated.
  3. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil.

  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
  6. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red onion over the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown.
