Sundried Tomato Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizza

This is a healthy option with a lot of pizazz to America’s favorite food. You can use flat bread, tortilla shells or make your own dough. I usually find the flatouts in the bakery section of the grocery store and they come in a variety of flavors and are made of whole grains. In this recipe we do not use tomato sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Large Boneless Chicken Breasts- precook (this recipe is great for making when having left over chicken breasts)
  • 3 Flatbreads
  • 1 jar of sliced sundried tomatoes in oil
  • 1 tbsp of oregano
  • 1 tbsp of basil
  • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese; divided
  • 1 tsp of sea salt
  • 1 tsp of ground black pepper

 

Directions:

  • Preheat oven 350
  • Bake the flatbreads alone for 3-5 min 
  • Coat the flatbreads with olive oil
  • Cut the grilled chicken breasts into bite size pieces
  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, entire jar of sundried tomatoes, and 1 cup of cheese
  • Add in dry ingredients
  • Spoon grilled chicken mixture onto flat breads
  • Top with remaining cup of cheese and bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted 

This is a fast and easy recipe to make that is low in calories and fat and the whole family will love it!
