Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

4 pieces of flatbread (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Red pepper flakes for a kick

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken:

    - Begin by seasoning both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and carefully add the chicken. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

      Prepare the Strawberry Basil Topping:

        - In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and chopped basil leaves. Drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze and gently toss the mixture to ensure the strawberries and basil are well coated. Set this topping aside for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.

          Assemble the Flatbread:

            - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, arrange the flatbreads in a single layer. Begin by spreading a thin layer of balsamic glaze over each flatbread, using about 1-2 tablespoons for each. Next, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the glaze, followed by the sliced chicken breast arranged evenly. Top off each flatbread with a generous spoonful of the strawberry basil mixture.

              Bake:

                - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes. You're looking for the cheese to melt and become bubbly, while the flatbreads should be slightly crispy along the edges.

                  Serve:

                    - Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Drizzle additional balsamic glaze over the top if desired, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Slice the flatbreads into portions and serve warm.
