Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking sheet.
Pat dry chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook in olive oil for 6-7 minutes per side.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Spread basil pesto over flatbreads laid out on the baking sheet.
Assemble by adding sliced chicken, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
Optionally, broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice and serve warm.
