Chicken & Spinach Flatbread Pizza

Lately I’ve been craving pizza, most likely because I spent the month of April burning every pie that crossed my path. This flatbread pizza is easily adaptable to whatever leftover meat, vegetables and cheese you have on hand.

It’s easy enough to whip up for lunch, and filling enough to satisfy for dinner. I use Trader Joe’s flatbread, but if you’re ambitious enough to make your own, this version from Smitten Kitchen looks tasty.

Gluten-free update: Consider using this gluten-free flatbread recipe for flatbread, or Cup4Cup pizza crust mix.

Chicken & Spinach Flatbread Pizza

1 large whole wheat flatbread
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup goat cheese (feta works well, too)
3/4 cup chopped cooked chicken breast
salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 500°.
2. Smear the tomato sauce over the flatbread, leaving a 1/2 inch or so on the edges.
3. Pile on the spinach, chicken and goat cheese, spreading evenly over the flatbread.
4. Bake for 6-10 minutes, or until the cheese turns brown. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.

      Hi – thanks for stopping by! I haven’t tried grilling pizza, but I love the idea. I’m a bit of a novice in the grilling department, but it’s on my list of things to learn this summer.

    I think I crave pizza everyday 🙂 I never think to put chicken on pizza, but I always really like it when I have it.

      I usually cheat and use pre-cooked chicken, makes it a faster lunch that way.
