Method
Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
If using chicken breast, season both sides with salt and pepper. If using vegan chicken, ensure it is thawed and ready to cook.
Slice the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
Assembly
Prepare Flatbread
Lay the flatbreads on a clean surface or baking sheet.
Spread Pesto
Evenly spread pesto sauce over each flatbread, covering the entire surface.
Add Chicken and Toppings
Place sliced chicken (or vegan chicken) on top of the pesto. Add sliced tomatoes, pickled red onions, and fresh spinach.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese (or vegan mozzarella) evenly over the toppings.
Grilling
Grill the Flatbreads
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled flatbreads on the grill and cover. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is toasted.
Serve
Remove the flatbreads from the grill and let cool for a minute. Slice into quarters and serve warm.
