BBQ Chicken Pizza

Wednesday, March 06, 2013

From our skinny table to yours...

We could eat pizza every night and we love all the different unique flavor combinations available these days. One of our favorites is California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ Chicken pizza. But at 310 calories for 1 small slice of theirs, we knew we could do better!

We started with one of our favorite skinny substitutions, swapping out the heavy pizza dough for a whole wheat tortilla. This gives everyone their own individual pizza which is super satisfying & a huge help in portion control. We top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce (double check the calorie count in your favorite brand!) then layer on grilled chicken, pineapple, roasted red peppers, red onion, part skim mozzarella cheese and fresh cilantro. These are the perfect balance of savory & sweet and one of our new favorites!

 
But don't pack on the calories with a soda on the side! We served this up with ice water infused with fresh cut lime wheels for the perfect refreshing combination.

 
Hope you enjoy :)

  4. I just made this for lunch, and it was delicious! I didn't have roasted red peppers, so I used some thinly sliced red pepper. And did everything else exact to the recipe. Soooo Good!
