Barbecue Chicken Pizza
I LOVE pizza! And every once in a while I get a serious craving for it. I also love cooking and eating at home because I can control what goes into my meals. Sure, eating out is great every once in a while, but pizza is rarely loaded with the amount of protein and veggies I want it to be loaded with. So I figured, if I could just come up with a killer crust recipe, I’d be set. From here on out I can enjoy pizza at home whenever my cravings hit. This recipe makes it easy to still hit your macros at the end of the day too. It’s a win-win in my opinion. You’re saving money, getting a good healthy meal in, and you aren’t sacrificing flavor.
The crust is made from one of Zach Rocheleau’s recipes, aka The Flexible Dieting Lifestyle, and it can be found on his YouTube channel. It’s his Low Cal Everything Bagel recipe and I just spread it out into a pizza crust before I baked it. I also substituted the regular flour for gluten-free flour and it worked perfectly. Then I piled on my favorite toppings. I didn’t top my pizza with any cheese, but you absolutely can. It will add even more protein!
