Cooking Instructions

  • If making spinach walnut pesto, whip this up first. Otherwise, cut chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces, add to a bowl. In a small bowl, mix seasoning together and pour all over the chicken, mixing well. Add ½ teaspoon oil to a skillet or pan, cook chicken, tossing often for about 12-15 minutes or until cooked all through.
  • While chicken is cooking, preheat oven to 375º. Add about 2 tablespoon of pesto to the chicken in the skillet, just to coat the chicken with flavor. Turn the heat down to low, simmer for 2 minutes then turn it off. Set aside.
  • Add naan or flatbread to a cooking sheet. Spread a medium/thin layer of pesto across the bread in an even layer, followed by the cheese, tomatoes and finish off with adding the chicken.
  • Bake in the center rack of the oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust browns a bit. Let it cool for a minute or two, slice and enjoy!

Notes
