Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce, reduced-fat
- 1 cup Fat-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Low-fat blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet in the oven to heat up as well, for a crispy crust.
On a clean surface, sprinkle cornmeal to prevent sticking. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a 12-inch circle using a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast with half of the buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated.
Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Place the rolled-out dough on it and lightly spray the dough with olive oil spray.
Spread the remaining buffalo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken over the sauce-covered dough.
Sprinkle the shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Follow this with a sprinkling of low-fat blue cheese crumbles.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat buffalo chicken pizza.
