    So with my bottle of Mazola Corn Oil and some inspiration from Grandma Marcella, I decided to change up my Chicken Garlic Caprese Flatbread recipe by swapping out a few ingredients to make it lighter and really highlight those fresh ingredients.  These flatbreads are a quick 30-minute meal.  I serve them with an Italian Green Salad to bring in more fresh vegetables.  Flatbreads have always been a favorite dish on my family's dinner table.  After a few changes to my usual recipe, I feel even better about serving these. This is good because my family would eat them every night if I let them.

    Mazola corn oil is heart-healthy and an all-purpose oil that works great in baking, cooking, grilling, sauteing, stir-fries, marinades, and dressings.  Looks like Grandma Marcella knew what she was doing because she used Mazola in everything.  I mean everything.

    What I personally love about this oil is it has a neutral flavor that lets all the fresh ingredients stand out in this recipe.  That's perfect for a recipe with so many summer vegetables.  These are flavors we don't want to cover with oil.

    flatbreads with tomatoes and cheese

    My family has always liked this flatbread and salad meal.  It's all about simplicity and flavors without the need to spend hours in the kitchen.  This delicious dish is on the table in 30 minutes.  This time I opted to make it a healthier meal with a few simple ingredient swaps.  Here is what I changed, but feel free to adapt these changes for your taste.

    To make the Chicken Garlic Caprese Flatbread healthier I made these simple swaps

    • Swap out butter for Mazola Corn Oil to cook the garlic. This reduces the saturated fats and cholesterol we don't need in our diets.
    • Swap out mozzarella cheese for feta and parmesan cheeses for a lighter taste.
    • Swap out the creamy Italian dressing for an Italian vinaigrette made with corn oil. This avoids the cholesterol found in mayonnaise-based dressings.

    Let's make this flatbread and I promise you will be sitting down to dinner in 30-minutes.

    Preheat your oven first then cook the chicken.  Here's a tip: if you prefer, a rotisserie chicken can be used, or, better yet, some leftover chicken.  I feel whatever makes your meal prep easy is the way to go.

    While the chicken is cooking, heat the chopped garlic with the corn oil in a small saucepan for 5 minutes. Cooking the garlic in the corn oil softens the garlic and flavors the oil.

    Here's another great thing about Mazola corn oil: it has a higher smoking point than other oils.  You know when you turn away from a pan of olive oil only to turn back to find grey smoke wafting up because the oil got too hot?  That doesn't happen here!  Corn oil's smoke point is 450 degrees so you can cook at high temperatures without affecting the flavor of the food or the nutritional value.

    While the garlic is cooking, chop the tomatoes and basil then combine both with a little pepper.

    chicken and chopped tomatoes

    Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and spread the garlic oil on top with a spoon or pastry brush, top with chicken and the cheeses. That's it!  Now put the flatbreads in the oven for about 12 minutes.  Then add the tomatoes and basil to the top of the flatbreads and cook for about 5 more minutes or until the flatbreads are browned.  This recipe is really that simple.

    While the flatbreads are baking, make your salad.  I am a big fan of making my own dressing because it just tastes so much better fresh.  And making salad dressing is quick and easy. It really took me longer to get all the spices out of my cupboard than it did making the dressing.  Give it a try.   This recipe is enough for a couple of salads and keeps for 3 weeks in the fridge.

    This meal is so fresh and tasty you will be making this weekly.

      I was wonder why use Mazola in such a great recipe then I realized it was a sponsored post. I would substitute extra virgin olive oil instead for a richer, fuller flavour profile. Lovely to find such great fresh ingredients in a post. Well done!
