Pesto Chicken and Peach Flatbread
Grilled Pesto Chicken, Peach, and Burrata Flatbread is easy and delicious with the help of Dorot – the perfect way to use your grill this summer!
We need to celebrate the official first day of summer! And the proper way to it is with something cheesy, and grilled that just screams summer.
Sooo I present to you Grilled Pesto Chicken, Nectarine, and Burrata Flatbread…or pizza…or whatever you want to call it. I mean, I know there has to be some difference between the two, but any type of dough with toppings on it and lots of cheese seems pretty much the same to me. I’m calling this one a flatbread simply because it’s shaped in a rectangle rather than a circle and it just feels more like a flatbread.
Ok Grilled Pesto Chicken, Nectarine, and Burrata Flatbread – let’s do this!
To me summer food is all about the grill. Everything on this flatbread (plus the actual flatbread) is grilled.
Here’s how this flatbread comes together. First up is the walnut pesto. This is key. It’s fresh and light, and adds the flavor in this flatbread. Plus its super easy to make thanks to Dorot.
With Dorot, you can say goodbye to washing, chopping, and peeling fresh herbs. Dorot has created an innovative alternative to fresh herbs by flash freezing and placing them in convenient trays.
By using Dorot’s Fresh Basil and Chopped Garlic, this pesto is ready in under 5 minutes with minimum prep and cleanup! The pesto is the perfect base and topping for the chicken, but the leftovers are also great on roasted veggies and salads.
Next, the chicken is coated with pesto and grilled to perfection. Fresh juicy peaches are sliced, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, and grilled until soft and caramelized. Then, the flatbread comes together coating the grilled crust with pesto and adding the sliced chicken and grilled peaches.
Finally the flatbread is topped with burrata, fresh basil, and chopped walnuts. Yup, it’s pretty much perfection!
I know you’ll enjoy this flatbread. It’s cheesy and loaded with such fresh flavors. The best part? It requires very little preparation AND it’s the perfect way to celebrate an awesome summer week!
