  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. If uneven, pound to even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Shred the Chicken: Transfer chicken to a platter to rest for a few minutes. Shred into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for even baking.
  5. Assemble the Flatbread: Arrange flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread pesto sauce evenly over each flatbread.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Bake the Flatbread: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, cool for a minute, sprinkle with basil, slice, and serve hot.
