I solved my problem this way by modifying the function 
insert-date-N-days-from-current to print instead of insert. Now I can use 
file+headline and avoid :prepend. 

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun print-date-N-days-from-current (&optional days)
  "Print date that is DAYS from current."
  (interactive "p*")
  (print
   (calendar-date-string
    (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute
     (+ (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (calendar-current-date))
        days)))))

(setq org-capture-templates
      `(("p" "pomodoro, checklist"
         checkitem (file+headline ,pomodoro ,(print-date-N-days-from-current 0))
         ""))) 
#+END_SRC
