Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 8-inch flatbreads (naan recommended)
Toppings
- ¼ cup prepared pesto (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken preferred)
- 4 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup kalamata olives, sliced
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully preheat for best baking results.
- Prepare the flatbread base: Place each flatbread on a baking sheet. Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of prepared pesto over the surface of each flatbread as the flavorful base layer. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto.
- Add the toppings: Distribute the shredded chicken evenly over the cheese. Then spread the cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach, sliced red onion, and kalamata olives over the flatbreads. Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta cheese on top and drizzling a little extra pesto for enhanced flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet on the middle oven rack. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove from the oven. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice each flatbread into 3 to 4 pieces. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the fresh Mediterranean flavors.
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade pesto depending on your preference.
- Rotisserie chicken provides great flavor and convenience for shredding.
- Feel free to substitute naan with other types of flatbread or pita for variation.
- Adjust the baking time as needed depending on your oven’s heat distribution.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables like artichokes or roasted peppers.
