So, we are getting kind of bored with food over at my house. It seems like we are trapped in a dinner rut and can’t get out. Day in and day out it is the same old food. I guess I just haven’t had the motivation to be very creative. It doesn’t help that I have picky kids that won’t eat things that look slightly different from the norm. Spending all afternoon in the kitchen creating new recipes, just to have the kids refuse to eat it and ask for spaghetti is a little disheartening.

To break up the monotony and save my self esteem, I have decided to start taking parts of recipes that they already love and turning them into new and delicious creations. One such creation is Spicy Chicken Flatbread.

This spicy garlic chicken recipe has been a family favorite for years, usually I serve it over rice with some steamed veggies. That is until, my husband had the brilliant idea of taking my paleo cracker recipe and turning it into a gluten free flatbread crust. What a great idea! I love a good flatbread and topping it with my family’s favorite chicken recipe would make it a sure fire hit. I was right! The crust was crispy and light, and the almond flour really helped bring out the bold flavors of the sauce and chicken. Best of all, my whole family ate it without a single complaint. Hallelujah!

Hopefully over the next few weeks I’ll get some of my creative kitchen mojo back and can keep re-purposing favorite meals into something new and we can finally break the boring rut. Until then enjoy this latest creation, I know you’ll love it as much as we do 🙂
