Healthy Recipe - BBQ Chicken Pizza

Yes, you can eat pizza and still be healthy! This is a recipe from the Biggest Loser Cookbook that I found online. My own BL Cookbook should be arriving soon :). The brands we used are specified in parentheses.

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
  • 1 whole wheat flour, 96% fat free tortilla, 8" diameter (Mission. Note: it's important to not use a low-carb tortilla as it won't crisp up properly)
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (Stubbs Original)
  • Finely shredded cheddar cheese (Target's brand Market Pantry Pizza Blend, each serving was 1/3 cup and that was plenty)
  • 1.5 ounces chopped, grilled chicken breast (Tyson Grilled and Ready fajita chicken strips - all our chicken was frozen, so we used these in a pinch. Note: The original recipe called for 3 ounces of chicken per pizza, but that actually made 2 pizzas for us)
  • 1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh cilantro (This is the original recipe measurement - we didn't use that much)
  • 1/4 slivered red onion (Optional - we didn't use)
Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Place the tortilla on a small nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 4 minutes per side, or until crisp. if air bubbles form, poke them with a fork, then press out the air with a spatula or oven mitt. Remove the sheet from the oven. Top the tortilla evenly in layers with the sauce, cheese, chicken, onion, and cilantro. Bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted. Slice into wedges. Serve immediately.

If you use the same brands we did, the entire "pizza" is only 335 calories, and VERY filling!
