Ingredients
- chicken
- pesto
- shredded cheese
- flatbread or pizza dough
Instructions
- 1Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium‑high heat (about 400°F / 392°F).
- 2If using flatbread, cut it into squares large enough to fold over the filling; if using pizza dough, roll out and cut into circles.
- 3Place a portion of the leftover chicken onto each flatbread or dough piece.
- 4Spread a generous layer of pesto over the chicken.
- 5Top with shredded cheese.
- 6Fold the flatbread or dough over the filling to form a pocket and press the edges together to seal (you can crimp with a fork).
- 7Place the pockets on the preheated grill.
- 8Grill the pockets for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- 9Remove from the grill and let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
- 10Serve hot. Store any leftovers in an airtight container; they reheat well in a toaster oven or microwave.
