Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch Whole grain pizza crust
- 1 medium Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low sodium barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place the pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven to warm up.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with ground black pepper and garlic powder.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Roll out the whole grain pizza crust on a lightly floured surface, shaping it into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it onto a sheet of parchment paper.
Spread the low sodium barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce.
Distribute the sliced chicken strips, red onion, and red bell pepper evenly over the cheese.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over the top.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it into 8 slices and serving.
