This was FANTASTIC. Plain Chicken recommends serving with a side of pizza sauce and I do too. J ate his with a side of ranch. This made an awesome dinner, but would also be a great appetizer for any occasion. OH, and it is E-A-S-Y and took less than 30 minutes. Some would say I cheated because I bought pre-made dough, but whatever. I also bought pre-made pesto. One day when I get adventurous, and have a lot of spare time on my hands, I will make these things from scratch. But that's like saying I'm going to make my own cheese. Highly doubtful.
ABOUT
Serves: 9 squares
Cook time according to Plain Chicken: Does not say
Cook time according to Rachel: Under 30 minutes!
How difficult was this for Rachel to make? Easy.
INGREDIENTS
1 6-in flatbread (pizza dough works perfectly fine)
2 Tbsp pesto
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mild cheddar
1/2 cup jack cheese
Italian seasonings for chicken
Pizza sauce or ranch for dipping
Plain Chicken was much fancier than me & bought nicer cheeses. I went cheap (& with what we already had on hand)
DIRECTIONS
Depending on the dough/flatbread you buy, prepare following directions on package.
Plain chicken also bought pre-cooked Italian seasoned chicken. I bought raw & seasoned myself with Italian seasonings.
If using raw chicken: heat very small amount of olive oil or use cooking spray in a large skillet. Chop up the chicken and sauté on medium-high heat until chicken is no longer pink.
Insert picture of half baked dough, pesto, chicken & cheese...yeah, I forgot. I was doing laundry at the same time.
Because I used pizza dough, the directions required me to pre-bake the dough for 6-8 minutes.
Then remove from heat and spread pesto, chicken and cheese onto the dough. Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes.
Remove from heat when dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Of course, I ran downstairs to put my wash into the dryer and J removed the flatbread from the oven convinced it was done after 6 minutes. I probably would have cooked for another minute but it was still amazing. Slice and serve immediately.
This looks oh so yummy!!
