Ingredients
  

Flatbread & Oil

  • 2 flatbreads
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil for brushing edges

Toppings

  • 0.67 cup basil pesto about 1/3 cup per flatbread
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken for even coverage
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts optional, toasted

Instructions
 

Flatbread Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) with a rack in the upper third.
  • Brush the edges of each flatbread with olive oil so they turn golden and crisp.

Assemble & Bake

  • Spread the basil pesto evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Top each with shredded chicken, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and pine nuts.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling around the edges and the crust is golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing to keep the center tender.

Notes

Tested three times, adjusting bake time and resting produced consistently crisp crust and tender center.
Use a foil tent when reheating to prevent the cheese and crust from over-browning.
