Helpful Tips

Storage

Fridge: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Freezer: Not recommended — the flatbread base loses its texture once frozen and thawed.
Reheating: Reheat in a 200°C oven or air fryer for 4–5 minutes to bring the base back to crisp. Avoid the microwave — it’ll go soggy.
Hot honey: Drizzle fresh hot honey after reheating, not before storing.

Substitutions

Protein: Swap the rotisserie chicken for shredded poached chicken breast
Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free wrap or flatbread
Pesto: No roasted capsicum pesto? Regular basil pesto works well, or try a sun-dried tomato paste for a different flavour base.
Heat level: Skip the green chilli entirely for a milder version, or use a long red chilli for extra heat. Dried chilli flakes also work as a topping.
Hot honey: Regular honey with a pinch of chilli flakes stirred through works perfectly as a substitute.

Serving Suggestions

This flatbread pizza is a complete meal on its own, but here’s how to round it out if you want more:

A simple green salad with lemon and olive oil keeps things fresh alongside the rich cheese and honey.
Sliced avocado or a handful of rocket on top after baking adds a fresh contrast to the heat.

Ingredients Directions

Serving Scaler

Serves 1 1x 2x 3x

Ingredients

1 large flatbread or high-protein wrap
3 tbsp roasted capsicum pesto (store-bought)
150g shredded rotisserie chicken
½ green capsicum, diced
½ long green chilli, diced (use more or less to taste)
90g mozzarella, roughly torn
25g parmesan, finely grated
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp hot honey (store-bought, or see note below)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 230°C fan-forced and place a large baking tray inside to heat up. A hot tray is the key to a crispy base.
Pull the hot tray from the oven and line it with baking paper. Lay the flatbread on top and press it firmly onto the tray. Spread the 3 tbsp of pesto evenly over the surface, leaving a 1–2cm border around the edge.
Scatter the shredded chicken over the pesto, followed by the capsicum and chilli. Lay the mozzarella over the top, then finish with the grated parmesan and the red onion.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the edges of the flatbread are crispy and starting to char at the tips.
Remove from the oven, drizzle generously with the hot honey, slice, and eat immediately.

Note — Hot honey: Can’t find it at the supermarket? Make your own in two minutes — warm 3 tbsp honey in a small saucepan with 1 tsp chilli flakes and a pinch of salt over low heat until just combined. Done.
