  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Flatbread Crust

  • 4 flatbread crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Basil Pesto

  • 1/2 cup basil pesto

Cheese

  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

Protein

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

Fruit

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking the flatbread pizza.
  2. Spread pesto. Evenly spread a generous layer of basil pesto over each flatbread crust, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  3. Add chicken. Distribute the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly on top of the pesto layer across all flatbreads.
  4. Top with mozzarella. Arrange slices of fresh mozzarella over the chicken to create a creamy, melty texture once baked.
  5. Add pineapple. Sprinkle pineapple chunks evenly over the cheese-covered pizzas to add a sweet and tangy contrast.
  6. Bake the pizzas. Place the prepared flatbread pizzas on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are crispy.
  7. Serve. Remove the pizzas from the oven, slice into portions, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize your pizza by adding toppings like olives, bell peppers, or onions.
  • You can substitute fresh mozzarella with shredded mozzarella or another melty cheese of your choice.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables.
  • Leftover pesto can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
