Cobb Chicken Flatbread

As you know…I’ve been crazy busy lately (this thing called work? not sure how I feel about it). During times like this, I love having go-to, simple recipes that are light and quick, but still satisfying.

I developed this recipe after tasting BJ’s flatbread and wanted to create a healthier version. Are you noticing a trend yet? Seems as if anything I order off a menu has avocado, chicken, or feta!

Health Benefits

Chicken-excellent source of protein, contains Vitamin B6 for energy and cardiovascular health, high in niacin, which protects against age related cognitive decline
Avocado-promotes heart health, provides the body with healthy omega-3′s, good source of potassium, increases the absorption of carotenoids from vegetables, and has phytonutrients that combat oral cancer

Tonight is flatbread night (feels somewhat healthier than ordering pizza, right?) So for me, I’ll have a Cobb and the hubby, a “black and bleu” which was also inspired by an old restaurant downtown called the Table (amazing, but sadly gone).

If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own naan bread! For me, on a night like tonight, when I feel past the point of exhaustion, Publix was the answer :)

Give this flatbread a try! Oh so yum!

Chicken

Chicken Cobb Flatbread

makes 2 flatbreads
Ingredients
2 thin chicken breast, diced
2 loaves Naan bread
1/3 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 Avocado
1/2 Tomato, diced
Garlic aioli (recipe below)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken until cooked through, set aside. Place naan loaves on cookie sheet or baking pan. Top with chicken, bacon, feta.

To make aioli- combine in a blender or food processor, 1 egg, with 3 garlic cloves (roasted tastes even better), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, half cup of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

Drizzle aioli on top of flatbread and bake for about 10 minutes at 375. Top with avocado and tomato or additional aioli as desired, enjoy!

*for the “manly” Black and Bleu version, swap out the chicken for shredded steak or beef, the feta for bleu cheese or gorgonzola, and the aioli for hummus.

    This looks really good! But, what is naan bread? I’m sure because this is a Paleo dish, it isn’t a typical bread.
