Butternut Squash Chicken Flatbread Pizza

Guys the past couple of nights all I’ve been doing is searching Pinterest and magazines trying to think of new fun cocktail recipes for the fall. Can I just say…

It’s so hard.

All I want right now is a smooth cocktail to make my tummy have bubbles. But I can’t.

It’s so funny how our minds react to being told we “can’t do something.”

I have always been strong headed and very strong willed. My dad use to call me “ice” when I was a teenager. And my mom said, when I was little she use to ask me to do something and I would just look at her and say “NO.” I know when your pregnant it’s a whole another story. When they tell you NOT to do something you probably should listen. They are doctors after all.

Let’s just say that after all this cocktail research, the first thing I want to have after baby girl comes is a big margarita in my hospital room! 🙂

Ok, rant over. Now onto more important things. Mainly this Butternut Squash Chicken Flatbread Pizza.

Guys. When I first told Mike about my idea for this dish, he had this look on his face like. “Um babe… butternut squash on pizza.. yeah that just sounds weird.” I, of course completely disagreed so I planned on making it while he was out of town.

That just meant more pizza for me, which I was ok with. After all, I am eating for two. Right? hehe

The first part to this gorgeous flatbread is caramelizing some onions till the natural sweetness is brought out and then adding in my favorite thing ever… Balsamic vinegar! YASSS!!!

These onions are like candy. I could eat them plain, in fact, I totally did while I was waiting for the butternut squash to cook up on the stove.

Once you have the squash and onions done you’re all set to assemble these beauties.

The first layer, instead of sauce, I used the flavor bursting balsamic caramelized onions. Then I spread out the goat cheese, butternut squash, shredded rotisserie chicken and then a few raw walnuts for crunch. Once the pizza comes out of the oven, finish it off with a few fresh thyme leaves and voila!

I absolutely loved the flavors on this pizza. You could make it as a meal for your family, a fancy date night in, or serve it as an appetizer around the holidays. Either way, you NEED to make it! I guarantee you’ll be shocked at how good it is!

Bon Appetit friends!
