Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 8-inch flatbreads (naan)
  • ¼ cup prepared pesto (plus extra for drizzle)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or similar)
  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425˚F (220˚C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the flatbread and melt the cheese perfectly.
  2. Prepare Flatbreads: Place the naan flatbreads on a baking sheet. Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto onto each flatbread, covering the surface as a flavorful base. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella on each to create a cheesy foundation.
  3. Add Toppings: Distribute the shredded chicken evenly over each flatbread, then scatter the cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach, sliced red onion, and kalamata olives on top. Finally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the flatbreads and drizzle with a little extra pesto for an added punch of flavor.
  4. Bake: Bake the flatbreads on the middle oven rack for 10 to 12 minutes. Check for melted mozzarella and crispy edges on the flatbreads before removing them from the oven.
  5. Serve: Slice each flatbread into 3-4 pieces. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious Mediterranean inspired chicken flatbread!

Notes

  • You can use any type of flatbread or pita if naan is unavailable.
  • Leftover chicken works perfectly for this recipe, making it a great way to use prepared rotisserie chicken.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before baking.
  • Fresh spinach can be substituted with arugula or kale for different greens.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the chicken and add extra veggies like roasted eggplant or zucchini.
