A crazy good combo of flavors here in this pomegranate balsamic marinated chicken & beet goat cheese flatbread. Then we’re topping it off with blueberries, pepitas, and hemp hearts!

Guys… I have something to tell you…
I don’t know how I haven’t told you this already yet but
…

I leave for the UK in 3 days (!!!)
Say whhaatttt?! I’ve actually been to England before, with my Nana and her sister when I was 15. However truthfully speaking… it was a trip for the older ladies. Not to say I wasn’t grateful! I totally was. But we were kind of there to visit distant relatives and check out some headstones… I’m 100% serious about the headstones.
We stayed in the Bingley area, which was where my Nana’s cousins lived, and let’s just say it wasn’t the most exciting place for a 15 year old. One of my favorite days was when my Nana’s previous exchange student (she had exchange students from all over the world for as long as I can remember) and his girlfriend took me into Leeds where we went to a soccer game and shopped the streets.
Of course I remember other things too… like how big the roundabouts were getting off the highway. I am fairly certain we just kept driving around in a circle until we figured out what exit we needed… easily 20 times. I also recall it taking us roughly three hours before we found our hotel…Not even joking.
And then there was visiting with my Nana’s cousins and their children. That was actually pretty neat. I’ve always loved history. So getting to sift through old pictures I truly enjoyed. Plus just knowing you’re talking to someone on the other side of the world you just met for the first time, yet you’re family… It’s kind of cool, right?
So what does the UK have in store for me this time? Well, I’m actually traveling with my beloved Pal and her husband, and we are meeting up with her friend from grad school. This time I’ll get to see London and visit Leeds again before making our way up to Scotland (!). Being in Scotland also means I get to meet up with my Aussie bestie from study abroad because she lives there now too! I kind of can’t believe it’s coming so soon.
And while this month has been crazy busy for me, I’ve somehow managed to pull off sharing this amazing beet goat cheese flatbread with you.
~~ happy dance ~~
I seriously thought this flatbread was bangin’. The combo of goat cheese and beets is just freakin’ amazeballs, people. Then add some pomegranate balsamic marinated chicken breast and you’ve got yourself a WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.
The spinach plus the added toppings of blueberries, pepitas and hemp hearts just takes this flatbread to a whole nother level.

Brie @ Lean, Clean, & Brie says
Beets on pizza? I am ALL IN with this! It seriously looks so darn good, and I have a slight obsession with goat cheese so I am kind of drooling over this right now. Have so much fun in the UK!!
Ashley says
Yes, totally obsessed with goat cheese! Have you had it on toast or a bagel?? With blueberries is my favorite 😀
Thanks Brie!
Stella @ Stellicious Life says
Wow, you’ll have a blast! I live in Europe, so have been to the UK several times, but London is always fun (so many great places to eat and see!9 and Scotland stole my heart! Where will you go there? I’ve spent there a bit more than a week with a friend a few years ago, we mainly toured Edinburgh, Glasgow, Trossachs and visited some sights nearby. I cant wait to return someday and discover more of the Scottish countryside. (the English countryside is lovely as well). How long will you be away? And how will the husband survive your absence? (I’m not being ironic, my Boyfriend always has a hard time when I’m away for more than 3 days). Have a great time, and can’t wait to hear about your adventures there! 🙂
Ashley says
We’ll be staying at a friend’s parent’s house in Glasgow but also head over to Edinburgh too! Plan on doing some hikes as well. Super excited. I’ll be there for about 10 days I think? Lol Drew will definitely survive, but he will have to go grocery shopping himself and he’ll most likely be eating frozen pizza and chicken wings for these 10 days. :-p
Erin @ The Almond Eater says
Ahhh SO fun! UK might be next on my travel list… You better share photos! PS I hate beets… don’t hate me. These photos are gorggggg though so I forgive you 😉
Ashley says
bahahaa lol I could never hate you and I can understand why some may have a dislike for beets :-p I will def share photos! <3
Beverley @ Born to Sweat says
omg Ashley, have so much fun!!! I can’t believe you kept this such a secret hahah you weirdo. i hope you can snap your entire trip, that would be amazing. like i was there with ya. make sure you eat lots of french fries with mayo (or that may be Holland i’m thinking of), and drink BUCKETS of tea. It’s not a real UK trip unless you literally drown in tea.
Ashley says
Bahaha it just never came up in writing til now! I SO plan on drowning in tea. One of the things I love so much about visiting our friends in Ontario is how much tea they drink. I don’t if it’s the water or the company, but my orange pekoe just doesn’t taste the same in the states! :-p
Thanks Beverley! Probably won’t be getting a phone plan but I’ll snap when I have wifi 😉
Jamie @ Dishing Out Health says
Gah this looks amazing and so summery! Have SO much freaking fun in the UK!! Xo
Ashley says
Thank you Jamie!
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
Have the best time!!! Seeing old friends is so fun and while traveling? Even better! Can’t wait to see all your pics 🙂
Ashley says
Thanks so much Ellen!
Jess @hellotofit says
Okay, so I will get lost in the DC roundabouts going to my mom’s house. She’s lived in DC for at least ten years. And now, since I’ve gotten lost the same roundabout exit, I just use that as my guide. So. Bad.
Love this recipe because beets and goat cheese (almost just wrote “goats”) are my life. Lastly….how will we text and snap chat while you’re away? Oh I guess you’ll have the time of your life there, at least 😛 xoxoxoxo
Ashley says
Oh my gosh I’ve only driven around in DC once but it is totally confusing! I don’t blame you.
I will have wifi at some spots and update you on life in the UK as frequently as possible <3 😀 xxx
Cassie says
While I will have to find a way to veganize this recipe, it looks absolutely beautiful! I love the gorgeous beet color of each slice!
Ashley says
Ohhh marinated tempeh perhaps? Or just leave the protein out and sub the goat cheese with vegan-friendly spread?? Eek I hope you can try it!
