BBQ Chicken Pizza

I love pizza. LOVE it. But I cannot eat it as often as I want because it "costs" way too many calories. So I have tried various ways to substitute my cravings with fit foods. Sure, you could go grab a Lean Cuisine BBQ Chicken Pizza for 340 calories (which is mostly dough and has tiny pieces of chicken) or you could make your own.

BBQ Chicken Pizza


1 Mission brand Flour Tortilla (or any other tortilla for 90 calories)
1 1/2 tbsp. BBQ sauce (choose your favorite, just keep it 30 calories or less per tbsp.)
2 oz. rotisserie chicken (you can use those precooked chicken strips too)
2 tbsp. chopped red onion
1/2 oz. shredded part skim Mozzarella cheese

310 calories

Take 1 tbsp. of BBQ sauce and spread in the center of the tortilla like you would tomato sauce. Add strips of chicken and onion, then top with cheese. Using a toaster oven or the broiler heat until cheese is melted and tortilla is desired crispness. 

This pizza is about the same size as a Lean Cuisine, but it has more protein and more toppings for less calories. Plus, you made it!
