Chipotle Chicken Flatbread

Chipotle chicken flatbread

Chicken is definitely the protein that we use most frequently for dinner. I am all about seafood, but my husband doesn’t love it, and we try to limit the amount of red meat that we eat (though we still love it!). I do try to incorporate meals centered around pork, and also vegetarian meals into our diet, but chicken is our go-to! To avoid falling into a rut of the same old boring chicken dishes, I try to create unique recipes that have lots of flavor and exciting twists to keep things anything but dull. This Chipotle Chicken Flatbread is a great way to change up dinnertime. It is loaded with lots of great veggies, just the right amount of spice and tons of flavor!
