Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/2 cup pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 package of flatbread (approximately 4-6 pieces)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the flatbreads.

    Prepare the Flatbreads: Take the flatbreads and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each flatbread with olive oil, making sure to cover the surface evenly. Season them generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to elevate the flavor.

      Mix the Chicken Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the pesto sauce. Use a fork or spoon to thoroughly mix until the chicken is evenly coated in the vibrant green sauce.

        Assemble the Flatbreads: Take spoonfuls of the chicken and pesto mixture and spread it evenly across each flatbread, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for easy handling once baked.

          Add Cheese and Tomatoes: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken mixture on each flatbread. Then, artfully place the halved cherry tomatoes on top, ensuring they’re spaced out for both flavor and aesthetics. Finish off by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese to add a beautiful, rich topping.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the flatbreads for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads turn a delightful golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Using a pizza cutter, slice each flatbread into small circles or wedges for easy serving.

                Garnish: For an extra touch of freshness and color, garnish the flatbread circles with fresh basil leaves before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm, either as a delightful appetizer or as a light meal, accompanied by a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce to complement the flavors!
