Neither the pesto nor the chicken are “mini” in this dish; in fact, they combine to provide perfect flavors. It's the flatbreads that are mini, and fun! Size doesn't matter to yumminess. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully making a circle with your knife around the stem, then remove circle.
