Flatbread Pizza

Posted by Unknown at 06:51 Read our previous post

One of my weaknesses has always been pizza. What's not to love? A crust full of carbs and topped with cheese and cheese and cheese galore. When I made the major changes in my diet, I knew that my pizza cravings weren't just going to go away so I would have to find a way to make a healthier version. At first I tried making it on a tortilla, but they were too thin and didn't have quite the same effect. Next I tried a whole wheat english muffin, and they did the trick however were so small and gone in approximately 30 seconds. So I was stuck. I needed something thin and low in calories, but not too thin or too small.

And then I found them. FlatOut Thin Crust Flatbreads. They come in a few different flavors like Rosemary & Olive Oil or Spicy Italian, but I used the Whole Wheat Artisan Pizza kind. Each crust has 140 calories in it and it covers my entire plate.
The company makes other flatbreads too, including wraps and fold-its - a panini type of bread that's low in calories and great for sandwiches and grilled cheeses.

So this is what I used to make my new and improved 'healthy' pizza!

What you need:
- 1 Flatout thin crust flatbread
- 1/4 pizza sauce (I used Kraft because there really is nothing better)
- 1 handful of spinach
- ~100 grams of either ground chicken or chicken breast
- 30 g part skin mozzarella cheese

What you do:
1. If using ground chicken, cook in frying pan until cooked completely. Add any type of seasoning you want, typically the more flavor the chicken has, the better tasting the pizza. If using chicken breast, cut into strips and season before cooking.
2. Use a slap chop or knife to very finely chop up cooked chicken to easier spread out on pizza.
3. Top flat bread with sauce, spinach, chicken, and cheese, in that order.
4. Cook in oven until cheese is melted, then switch to broil to brown the top until desired.

And enjoy!
