BBQ Chicken Pita Pizza

I could eat pizza for every meal of every day and die happy. Just had to get that out there.

Recently, I’ve been really into making personal pizzas where I can eat the whole thing for a filling meal with a reasonable amount of PointsPlus. I had some leftover chicken in the fridge and came up with this idea of BBQ Chicken Pita Pizza and it turned out AWESOME.

Enjoy!

    • 1 large Whole Wheat Pita
    • 2 oz. diced chicken
    • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
    • 1 oz. Mozzarella
    • Red Onion
    • Cilantro for Garnish

To start, preheat your oven to 425º.

While that’s heating up, add the BBQ sauce to the chicken and mix well to combine.

Spread the chicken over the pita as the base layer.

Next comes the cheese. I found this brand at Trader Joe’s:

And you get 3 mini balls for 2 pts+.

Slice those up and spread them out over the chicken.

And then sprinkle on red onions to taste. I love ‘em but you might want to use a few less if you’re not a huge fan.

Pop the pita in the oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and melted, the crust is crispy, and the chicken is heated through.

Last addition – sprinkle the cilantro on top.

And then slice and eat!

Sooooooo good. I might make this again tonight!

What’s your favorite kind of pizza?

I looove white pizza. I am not that into red sauce on pizza, so that might be why I love this one so much too!
