Protein Pizza

SERVES 3

Ingredients  

Dough

1 cup self rising flour OR, 1 cup all purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt

¾ cup plain full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt, plus 1-2 Tablespoons if needed

¼ teaspoon salt

Toppings

⅓ cup pizza sauce

¾ cup minced chicken or chicken breast

⅓ cup yellow onion

⅓ cup bell pepper

1 cup shredded mozzarella, loosely packed

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 200. If you don’t have self rising flour, make your own by combining flour with baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

• Add greek yogurt and additional salt to flour and stir to combine until a dough starts to form. If the dough is too thick, add more yogurt, 1 Tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too thin, add a sprinkle more of flour.

• Use your hands to shape the dough into a smooth ball and all the dry flour is gone. This took about 2-3 minutes. Cover dough ball completely in flour (this will prevent it from sticking to the counter or roller).

• Transfer the dough ball to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle shape using a rolling pin or smooth bottle, until it’s about ¼ inch thick.

• Carefully transfer dough using hands or spatula to a baking dish or pizza stone that is lightly floured. Add sauce and spread over dough evenly, leaving at least ¼ inch space around the edges.

• Sprinkle cooked chicken, onion and red bell pepper evenly over pizza crust. Top with mozzarella cheese.

• Bake pizza for about 20 minutes until cheese is browned and bubbly and crust is golden brown, rotating pan once halfway through.

• Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
