Chicken Flatbread Pomodoro
How many times have you picked up a rotisserie chicken for dinner and ended up with leftovers to use up during the week? This recipe is made for just such an occasion — you certainly won’t feel like you’re eating the same thing twice! We take some shredded, cooked chicken, toss it in our flavorful Red Wine Vinaigrette, and layer it onto a delicious flatbread with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese. It’s a lighter take on pizza, perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered

- Place the flatbreads or pizza crust on the lined baking sheet, then sprinkle them evenly with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
