Hummus, Chicken & Avocado Flat Bread

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 15 min

Serves: 3

Chicken meets hummus and avocado in this quick, filling and amazingly delicious baked flat bread. Lean chicken and the chickpeas in the hummus give a good amount of protein to help you stay full longer. The creaminess of the hummus and avocado make it easy not to miss the more traditional cheese often on baked flat bread.
