Macro-Friendly BBQ Chicken and Pear Pizza
This is one of my FAVORITE go-to lunches when my carbs are lower. So satisfying and delicious... light and healthy! So great if you don't have a lot of meat since the lavash packs so much protein.
Ingredients
- Joseph's lavash wrap now at Walmart for 2.50 instead of the $10 I was spending on amazon!! giant for only 16 carbs.
- 50 grams of low fat ricotta MIXED WITH half a cube of frozen garlic if you're not buying these Dorot cubes from Trader Joe's it's time to start- or sub half a fresh clove.
- 6 g reduced fat blue cheese
- 15 g Caramelized onion
- 30 g thinly sliced pear apple is good too
- 45 g grilled shredded, or rotiserri chicken (also good with bbq pulled pork)
- Red onion
Instructions
- To caramelize onions, spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Cook on medium/low for 20-30 min till soft. I just log 30 g raw onion and USE 15 grams of caramelized onion since it shrinks by half. If you don't want to calculate your own you can feel pretty safe with that. Make plenty and save for burgers/pizzas/paninis etc!
- Stir together ricotta and garlic
- Spray lavash with olive oil spray and sprinkle with kosher salt
- Spread with ricotta/garlic mixture
- Top with reduced fat blue cheese, caramelized onion, pear, chicken, and red onion
- Bake on a cookie sheet or pizza pan at 450 for 3-6 minutes until the edges are brown
- Cut in pizza wedges and drizzle with 15 g BBQ sauce (Stubbs is a good lower carb option) and sprinkle with fresh cilantro
- Pile on arugula and a drizzle of bolt house or ranch - (I added more after photo.)
Notes
Low-fat mozzarella is also a great addition when I have more fat to work with. But I don't miss it too much when it's gone.
