Making quick flatbread pizza from the oven

These delicious quick pizzas from @CookingQueensNL will have you on the table in no time. And by quick, we really mean super quick! Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Spread the flatbread with pesto. Sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the flatbread. We used garlic cheese and young goat cheese, but any combination is of course possible. Halve the tomatoes and divide over the flatbread. Finish with a thin layer of cheese. Place the pizza on the oven rack and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. When the cheese has melted, the pizza can be removed from the oven. Garnish with some basil leaves. Enjoy your pizza!

Making your own pulled chicken sandwich

1 pers
120 min

Evelien from @GezelligeRecepten made the recipe for these delicious pistolets with pulled chicken and Gouda cheese. These sandwiches are delicious at lunch and also taste great with drinks.  Brown the chicken thighs in a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Sauté the onion, garlic and tomato puree for 2 minutes. Now return the chicken thighs to the pan. Turn down the heat. Mix all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and add to the pan. Put the lid on the pan and after about an hour, the chicken thighs will fall apart. Then stir everything well and your pulled chicken is ready. Cut a pistolet in half and top with slices of Gouda cheese. Top this with the pulled chicken and sprinkle some more grated cheese on top. Put in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or take the rolls out of the oven when the cheese has melted.
