Description

A flatbread pizza crust is the base of this yummy pesto pizza topped with bacon, chicken breast, and feta cheese.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
ground black pepper to taste
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (12 inch) flatbread pizza crust
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons pesto
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Heat a large skillet over medium heat until a drop of water of sizzles away. Add bacon; cook until the fat begins to render, about 3 minutes. Season with black pepper. Continue cooking until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes more. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
3 Cook and stir chicken in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet while you assemble the pizza.
4 Place pizza crust on a baking sheet; brush edges with olive oil. Spread pesto over the center. Cover with feta cheese, chicken, and bacon.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and edges of the crust are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
