Fennel & Chicken Flatbread Recipe For Calcium Enriched Diet

Posted on 07.16.13 | Leave a Comment

Fennel & Chicken FlatbreadLooking for a recipe that appeals to bone health and a calcium enriched diet?  Then this delicious and easy to make recipe that turns a healthy twist on pizza making that we found at EatingWell.com is a great lunch to make for yourself, or an appetizer to serve with friends.

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 bulb fennel, quartered, cored and thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon chopped feathery tops for garnish
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, very thinly sliced crosswise
  • 4 6-1/2-inch whole-wheat pitas, or eight 4-inch whole-wheat pitas
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fennel and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook another 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Place pitas on a baking sheet and top each with an equal portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture; sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Bake until the cheese melts and turns golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fennel tops and serve warm.
