Personal BBQ Chicken Pizza

serves 4
Prepared in about 15 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 4 - Whole Wheat Pita Pockets
  • 2 - Grilled Chicken Breasts, Sliced (grilled over the weekend)
  • 2 Tbsp - Your Favorite BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's)
  • 1/4 C - Med Onion, Sliced
  • 1 - Bell Pepper Sliced (pick your favorite color - red, orange or yellow)
  • 1/2 C Part-Skim Mozzarella cheese
  • Olive oil






Directions:
Saute the onion and bell peppers in a skillet with a small amount of oil for about 5 min until the veggies brown (I left mine unattended while I fed my baby his dinner). Meanwhile, prep 2 baking sheets by covering with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place 2 Pita Pockets on each sheet, spread each with a 1/2 Tbsp of BBQ sauce, divide the chicken breast slices up between each pita, sprinkle 1/4 of the onions and bell peppers on each pocket, and top with a sprinkle of cheese.
Broil on Hi for up to 5 minutes or browned around the edges.

Quick Tips:
  • Grill extra chicken on the weekend for use during the week.
  • Buy red, orange and yellow bell peppers when on sell; wash, slice and store in the freezer till ready to use.
  • Can also add mushrooms to the sauteed vegetables (I only buy them when they are on sale).
  • Can use whole wheat torillas instead of the pitas for a very thin crust.
Serve with a side salad and a small glass of wine.
Enjoy!
