Ingredients

  • 1 Ultra Thin Pizza Crust
  • 130 g BBQ Sauce
  • 70 g Mozzerella Cheese
  • 70 g Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 oz Shredded Chicken Breast
  • ¼ Red Onion
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven – Start by preheating the oven to 425 Fahrenheit.
  • Assemble the pizza – On a pizza baking sheet or plate, add the low-calorie crust. Spread the BBQ sauce over the crust, leaving the edges of the crust bare.  
  • Add the toppings – Layer the cheese over the sauce, keeping them off the edges as well. Shred the chicken if not shredded and add the chicken pieces, along with the red onions, over the cheese.
  • Bake the pizza – Put in the oven and let bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish and serve – Add chopped cilantro on top of the pizza, cut into slices, and enjoy your healthy BBQ chicken pizza.

Notes

Substitutions and Variations
Swap out the BBQ chicken sauce – I used the Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce but you can swap in any BBQ sauce brand our flavor. For example, you can use a spicier BBQ sauce if you prefer some kick, or a sweeter one if you prefer it with some honey undertones. 
Switch out cheese – I used mozzarella and cheddar here since it was what was available for me, but smokier cheese such as gouda or gruyere have been known to compliment the BBQ sauce well.
Expert Tips
BBQ Sauce nutrition – Different brands of BBQ sauce can vary in nutrition content. Check nutrition labels to ensure it’s in line with the kind of diet you want, whether it's lower sugar, lower sodium, etc. Be sure to get a good quality one you love since this is the base of the dish!
Don’t worry about overtopping the pizza – The chicken tends to shrink in the oven, which will make the pizza a lot less crowded looking.
