US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut 1 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on what size you prefer your tomatoes.
  • Cut 1 cup of fresh mozzarella into chunks, or shred 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Alternately, you can sub any variety of cheese that melts nicely, such as Fontina or Provolone.
  • Cut the breast portion of a rotisserie chicken into chunks, or shred it with your fingers. Alternately, you can do the same using leftover roasted, grilled, or any type of cooked chicken.
  • Place 2 gluten free flatbreads (or any flatbread if not gluten free) onto an ungreased large baking sheet. Place 3 Tbsp. of jarred basil pesto onto each flatbread and use a knife to spread it out evenly.
  • Arrange 1 - ½ cups of the rotisserie chicken over the flatbread. Sprinkle ½ cup of diced tomatoes evenly over the chicken.
  • Top the flatbread with ½ cup (or desired amount) of the mozzarella chunks (or cheese of choice).
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted and the edges of the flatbread are crispy. Remove from the oven and cut into slices.
  • To Serve: Drizzle desired amount of balsamic glaze over the flatbreads and garnish with some freshly torn basil leaves.
