Ingredients
4 large red bell peppers
0.33 cups slivered almonds
, toasted
0.25 cups olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
, plus leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
, smashed

1 14.1 ounce) package flatbreads

1 cup shredded cooked chicken
0.5 cups kalamata and/or green olives

, for garnish
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line 2 (10x15-inch) rimmed baking sheets with foil. Arrange half of the peppers, cut sides down, on each prepared baking sheet.
2
Roast in the preheated oven until skin is blistered and charred, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer peppers to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel; let stand until cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes. Peel and discard skins. You should have about 2 cups roasted peppers.
3
Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
4
For sauce, blend roasted peppers, almonds, oil, chopped basil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a blender or food processor until smooth.
5
Remove and discard foil from baking sheets. Arrange 1 flatbread on each baking sheet. Spread each flatbread with 1/2 cup sauce, spreading to 1/2 inch from edges. Reserve remaining sauce for another use. Top evenly with cheese, chicken, and olives.
6
Bake until cheese is melted and edges are browned, 8 to 9 minutes. For a crispier crust, bake topped flatbreads 6 to 7 minutes directly on oven rack instead of on baking sheets. Garnish with black pepper and additional basil. Cut each flatbread into 6 slices.
