Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, then cook chicken for 6-7 minutes each side until golden and cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- Arrange flatbreads on a baking sheet and spread a layer of basil pesto over each.
- Evenly distribute sliced chicken over the pesto-covered flatbreads, then layer with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown.
- Optional: Switch to broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, garnish with basil leaves, slice, and serve.
- Serve with side salad or marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes
Allowing the chicken to rest enhances moisture. Customize toppings to suit your taste. Slice chicken against the grain for tenderness.
