BBQ Chicken Pita Pizza

1 Whole Wheat Pita or (tortilla if you want to save carbs)

1-2 Tbsp Gayle’s Sweet & Sassy Honey BBQ Sauce

1/4 c diced red onion

1 Tbsp chopped cilantro

3 oz grilled BBQ chicken

1/4 c or 1/2 oz  finely shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

4 cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

Prepare your chicken or use leftover cooked chicken breast.  Chopped up your veggies and shred your cheese.

Spread 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce on your whole wheat pita/tortilla.  Toss remaining bbq sauce with chicken.  Add chicken, onion, 1/2 the cilantro and 1/2 the tomatoes.  Top with all the cheese then remaining tomatoes and cilantro.

Place on grill and cook for 7-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and your pita is crispy.

NOTE: If using a tortilla, you will want to place it on a pan then on the grill or cook it in the oven on 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

Makes 1 Pizza, 10 points+ for the ENTIRE thing!

The STAR of tonight’s dinner was this awesome Gayle’s Sweet & Sassy BBQ Sauce.  This is the same sauce that they use on California Pizza Kitchen Pizzas which are AMAZING!!!!

LOVE the ingredient list and I will ALWAYS pick a natural sauce over a “low-carb” one on BFL.  It is worth the few extra carbs to avoid the artificial sweeteners You can make up for the carb difference by using a La Tortilla Low-Carb tortilla instead of the pita

I didn’t have any chicken ready to go so I grilled up a few chicken breasts (enough for The Husband and tomorrow too!)

I measured out 3 oz and chopped it up for my pizza.

While the chicken cooked, I prepped all my pizza toppings.

This is why I LOVE FINELY shredded cheese over regular shreds.  It looks like you get so much more and it spreads further.

I used one Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Pita (these are my favorite ones since they have toasty sesame seeds inside). 3 points+ for an entire pita!

Add your BBQ sauce

Then your pre-measured chicken

All your onions and 1/2 your Cilantro

1/2 your tomato slices

Then, finish it off with your cheese and remaining tomatoes & onions. Place your pita pizza directly on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes.

The pita gets super crispy like a thin crust pizza and it is FULLY LOADED with healthy, clean toppings ~ MMMMMM!

You just can’t beat homemade pizza that looks THIS good.  Oh and it was THAT GOOD!!!

I threw a foil packet of green beans tossed with a little healthy EVOO, sea salt and pepper on the grill for a side.

All together this one a super filling dinner that was so easy to make.  The best part was I didn’t have to heat up the house at all.

I think I can officially say all my pizza cravings are gone now.  I will definitely make this again and plan on experimenting with different toppings and sauce.  I bet Canadian bacon and pineapple would work so good with this combination.

Try it ~ you will like it either way – with a pita or a whole wheat tortilla!
