Chicken Pesto Flatbread

I’ve said it before, we love pizza at our house. I probably love it more than Chicken Legs. I could eat it every meal, every day! I know Chicken Legs isn’t as much of a fan, so I am always looking for new twist to ensure that he doesn’t get bored with it.

We recently went out to dinner and ordered the cheese toast appetizer. Now, this wasn’t any cheese toast; it was a pesto cheese toast. It was so simple, but it was SO good. I’ve never thought about combining pesto and cheddar. I immediately thought this would make a great starting point for pizza.

To mix things up a bit, I decided to use flatbread for the pizza crust. I also added some chopped Italian seasoned chicken to make this more of a meal. I wanted to keep the same flavors for the pizza that were in the cheese toast, so I chose a Wisconsin Mild Cheddar and a Wisconsin Jack Cheese. We were not disappointed. This was fantastic! It was ooey gooey cheesy goodness!! We served it with some warm pizza sauce for dipping, but it is just as good on its own.

This is a simple lunch or dinner, or a great snack. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and it tastes great. I can’t wait to experiment with more flatbread combinations!

  2. Chicken Legs and I are in one accord. I don't hate pizzas but every night that we need a quick dinner, SOMEONE always suggests pizza. Sigh 😉

  3. Definitely trying this one! We love pizza, too. It's at least once a week since EVERYBODY will eat it:)

  7. LauraJ – I used Perdue Short Cuts Grilled Italian Style Chicken. I've also used Oscar Mayer chicken stips and they are good. I used the Perdue because they came in a 9oz package.
