Prepare the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  2. On a baking sheet, place the flatbreads. Spread a layer of pesto sauce evenly on each flatbread.
  3. Top with the grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Bake and Serve
  1. Drizzle olive oil over the flatbreads, then bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.
