Fennel and Chicken Flatbread
(from fearama’s recipe box)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 bulb fennel, quartered, cored and thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon chopped feathery tops for garnish
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, very thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 6-1/2-inch whole-wheat pitas, or eight 4-inch whole-wheat pitas
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 500°F.
-
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.
-
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.
