Description

A delightful flatbread pizza topped with grilled chicken, fresh pesto, and vibrant toppings, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • Store-bought naan or thin flatbreads
  • Leftover grilled chicken breast or thighs, shredded or sliced
  • Fresh basil pesto
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh mozzarella slices (optional)
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes
  • Optional: parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces if using leftover grilled chicken. If cooking fresh, season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until juices run clear, then slice.
  3. Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil on both sides.
  4. Grill flatbreads for 1-2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and edges start to brown.
  5. Spread a generous layer of pesto evenly over each flatbread.
  6. Top with shredded mozzarella, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Cook the flatbreads on the grill for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts and toppings warm through.
  8. Remove from grill and sprinkle with optional crushed red pepper flakes or fresh basil leaves.
  9. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to customize toppings and make a vegetarian version by skipping the chicken and adding more veggies.
