BBQ Chicken Pizza

Serves 1 –  1 lean, 3 green, 1 condiment, 2 healthy fats

¼ cup 2% Mozzarella Cheese – Reduced Fat

¼ cup EggBeaters

2.25oz Chicken Breast – cooked and chopped

1 cup cauliflower – chopped

½ cup Vegetable Mix –jalapenos, green and red peppers

3 tblsp Sugar Free Barbecue Sauce

¼ cup 2% Mozzarella Cheese – Reduced Fat

 

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your oven by preheating it to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Then while your oven is being heated, leave it for a while. Get a cookie sheet and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Get a parchment paper and put it on the cookie sheet. Put the parchment paper on the sheet.
  • Next, in a mixing bowl add the following ingredients – 1 cup of grated cauliflower, 1/4 cup of egg beaters, and 1/4 cup of reduced fat 2% mozzarella cheese. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • When the mixture is ready, get a spoon and put the mixture on the prepared cookie sheet with parchment paper. Thin out the mixture and make a circle with a size similar to the dinner plate without the rim by using the back of the spoon.
  • When ready, place the cookie sheet inside the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, flip over the pizza crust and bake the other side for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While waiting for your crust to be baked, get a small bowl. Mix in the cooked and chopped chicken breasts, and 3 tablespoons of barbeque sauce. Set aside.
  • When your pizza crust is completely baked, take it out from the oven. Place it on a flat plate.
  • Then cover the top of your crust with the pizza sauce you prepared. Add ½ cup of jalapenos, green and red peppers or any veggies you’d like to add.
  • When your veggies were added, sprinkle your pizza with ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese over the top. When done, broil the pizza for 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Pizza Cooking Tips:

    Using a pizza stone offers a equally heated surface which absorbs moisture from the pizza and makes a crisp crust.

    For toppings that you will include in your pizza, you can try different herbs to make it look more appetizing and to have a very delicious and nutritious pizza.

    Let the baked pizza cool down for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing. Doing this will allow cooked cheese to set up and to retain the crisp of the crust.

Sprinkle with half of the cheese and the green chili peppers. Roll the waxed paper, with the meatloaf in the middle, until it shapes into a loaf.
