Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Chicken breast fillets
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the instant yeast and stir to mix.
Slowly pour in the warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the chicken breast fillets into thin strips. Season with garlic powder and black pepper.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and toss with half of the barbecue sauce, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a thin round shape. Transfer the rolled dough to a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
Spread the remaining barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza base.
Top with cheese, followed by cooked chicken strips.
Thinly slice the red onion and sprinkle over the pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
