Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large naan breads or pre-made flatbreads
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or torn
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the naan breads on a baking sheet.
- Brush the surface of each flatbread lightly with olive oil.
- Distribute the shredded chicken evenly over both flatbreads.
- Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and slices of fresh mozzarella over the chicken layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Immediately top with the fresh basil leaves.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of each flatbread before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, lightly brush the flatbreads with pesto before adding the chicken.
- If you do not have balsamic glaze, you can reduce balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until it thickens slightly.
- This recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken breast.
