steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and minced garlic to make the chipotle aioli.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest, then slice into thin strips.

Place the flatbread crusts on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of chipotle aioli over each crust.

Sprinkle half of the Muenster and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the aioli.
- 6.
Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the cheeses, followed by the remaining cheeses.
- 7.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- 8.
While the flatbread is baking, prepare the jalapeño Pico de Gallo by combining the diced cherry tomatoes, chopped jalapeño pepper, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 9.
Once the flatbread is cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- 10.
Cut the flatbread into slices, then top each slice with a generous amount of the jalapeño Pico de Gallo.
