Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 flatbreads (naan or pita)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place flatbreads on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic. Bake for 3–4 minutes.

  • Layer chicken evenly over each flatbread. Add mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
