CARAMELISED ONIONS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced Onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 2-3 minutes, toss through the balsamic reduction, and a splash of water. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
COOK THE Chicken
Place a pan (that has a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the heat and place on a chopping board. Using two forks (one to secure the chicken and the other to shred), gently shred the chicken, season, and set aside.
SOME PREP
Place the creamy pesto in a bowl. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. Season and set aside. Coat the halved baby tomatoes with a drizzle of oil and season.
Flatbread
Evenly spread the shredded Chicken over the Flatbread, top with the halved tomatoes, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Carefully slide directly onto the oven rack and cook until the cheese has melted and the flatbread is golden, 8-10 minutes.
Flatbread FIESTA
Plate up the loaded Flatbread, scatter over the balsamic onions, drizzle over the creamy pesto, and garnish with the torn basil leaves. Enjoy, Chef!
