Preheat oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with butter. Blend cottage cheese, eggs and oregano together in a blender, scraping down the sides, as needed, until smooth, about 1 minute.
Pour cottage cheese mixture evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden-brown and firm, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Spread alfredo sauce evenly over flatbread and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Top with grilled chicken. Bake until Mozzarella is melted, about 5 minutes.
Dollop with pesto and garnish with basil. Slice and serve.

Tip: Substitute 2 cups of store-bought frozen grilled chicken breast for fresh grilled chicken breast to make this recipe even easier!
