Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup low sodium barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough onto a round pizza stone or baking sheet and let it rest for a few minutes while you prepare the toppings.
In a small bowl, mix the cooked, shredded chicken with half of the low sodium barbecue sauce, coating all the chicken well.
Slice the red onion and red bell pepper thinly.
Brush the pizza dough with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy during baking.
Evenly spread the remaining low sodium barbecue sauce over the prepared dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the prepared chicken mixture evenly over the cheese.
Top with the sliced red onion and red bell pepper.
Add fresh ground black pepper to taste.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before sprinkling fresh cilantro leaves over the top.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
