Ingredients
2 6-inch flatbreads (or one 12-inch flatbread)
1 head roasted garlic, cloves separated and mashed
4 heaping tablespoons basil pesto
1 to 1½ cups shredded rotisserie or cooked chicken
2 heaping tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheese blend
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Divide the mashed roasted garlic cloves evenly between the flatbreads, spreading them in a thin, even layer across each one.
Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of basil pesto over each flatbread, distributing it evenly over the roasted garlic layer.
Divide the shredded chicken evenly between the flatbreads, spreading it in an even layer over the pesto.
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese blend over both flatbreads, distributing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until the flatbreads are heated through and the cheese is melted with light browning on top. The cheese should be bubbling and just beginning to turn golden.
Comments
The ingredient list is entirely standard to Charlotte grocers—flatbread, garlic, pesto, chicken, and both cheeses are straightforward Harris Teeter or Walmart finds—and at roughly $2.50 to $3.00 per serving this is a genuine weeknight budget play. The stated 22 minutes ignores roasting the garlic and cooking the flatbread properly; expect 30 to 35 minutes, which is still manageable but worth knowing upfront. The recipe works best if you have precooked rotisserie chicken on hand; raw chicken adds another 20 minutes, and the dish does not reheat gracefully once the flatbread cools and toughens, so plan to serve it fresh from the oven.
