A quick and easy grilled flatbread pizza topped with pesto-coated grilled chicken and melted mozzarella cheese, perfect for busy weeknights or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Thin store-bought flatbreads or naan
  • 2 cups grilled chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded or sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes (halved), fresh basil leaves, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of chopped grilled chicken with 1/4 cup pesto sauce. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of each flatbread with olive oil.
  4. Place the flatbreads directly on the grill grates. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the bread is crisp but pliable.
  5. Remove flatbreads from the grill and transfer to a clean surface. Spread the pesto-coated chicken evenly over each flatbread, then top with mozzarella cheese and optional toppings.
  6. Return the assembled flatbreads to the grill. Close the lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and toppings are warmed through.
  7. Remove from grill, season with salt and pepper, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

Brush flatbread with olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure crispiness. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning the crust before cheese melts. Rotate flatbreads if grill has hot spots. Prep chicken and pesto mix ahead for convenience. Reheat leftovers on grill or skillet to maintain crispness.
