Quick and Easy Pesto Chicken Flatbread Pizza

Flatbread pizza is a quick and easy meal for the whole family. The best part is it can be customized to everyone’s likes and dislikes with a quick addition or reduction in toppings. One of our favorite toppings is our antipasto flatbread, but if you are looking for something for picky kids, then try our quick and easy pesto chicken flatbread pizza below.

The thing I love about this quick and easy flatbread pizza is that you can change up the toppings ever so slightly to accommodate likes and dislikes. For example, my kids won’t eat mushrooms and one won’t eat fresh pine nuts so we left them off theirs. Having this recipe approved by my picky child was nothing short of a victory, especially when he ate an entire flatbread by himself.

These individual-style flatbread pizza bases I buy in 2-packs from Aldi, so if you have a store close to you, they’re a staple in my pantry. You can always make your own using my skillet flatbread recipe if you don’t have one.

Another staple in our refrigerator is slow cooker shredded chicken. We use it for so many different dishes including our flatbread pizzas.
