Lean Mass Buffalo Chicken Pizza


Happy Friday everyone!  This goes out to all my pizza and hot wing lovers.  I know, I’m giving a recipe for pizza and hot wings?!  Yes, I am.  I came across this recipe on Muscle & Fitness and tried it and it was fantastic!  Even though it’s pizza, with a few smart selections for ingredients, it’s a pizza that will help you stay lean while still enjoying the taste of pizza and hot wings.  It’s high in protein and fiber while being moderate in fat.  I apologize for the picture.  I only had the before picture because when it came out of the oven I was too excited to eat it that I forgot to take the picture when it was cooked!  Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!   

Ingredients: 
  • 6 oz grilled chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/2 tbsp + 1 tbsp (or to taste) low sodium hot wing sauce, divided
  • 1/3 10-oz whole wheat pizza crust (slice off 1/3 the thickness; you can eyeball the measurement)
  • 1 large tomato (or 2 small Roma or plum tomatoes), cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
  • 1 1/2 tbsp reduced-fat crumbled blue cheese
Equipment:
    Baking sheet

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. Toss chicken in ½ tbsp sauce.
  3. Place pizza crust on a baking sheet and lay the tomato slices evenly over it to cover the crust.
  4. Top evenly with chicken, then sprinkle cheese over everything. Drizzle remaining sauce over top.
  5. Cook pizza until crust is lightly crisped and toppings are hot, about 8–10 minutes.
