Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 whole wheat pita bread
  2. 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
  3. 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  4. 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  5. 1/4 cup bell peppers, sliced
  6. 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
  7. Oregano and basil to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Place the whole wheat pita bread on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's flat and centered for even cooking.
  3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly across the pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges to create a light crust.
  4. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce, distributing it uniformly to ensure consistent melting.
  5. Add the shredded cooked chicken breast across the pizza, spreading it to create an even protein distribution.
  6. Arrange the sliced bell peppers and mushrooms over the chicken, creating a colorful and nutritious topping layer.
  7. Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the pizza, adjusting the amount to suit your taste preferences.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pita are crispy and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning.
  10. Slice the pizza into quarters and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Tips

  1. • For extra protein boost, consider adding grilled chicken breast or turkey instead of regular chicken • Use a whole wheat pita as your base to increase fiber and keep calories low • Choose low-fat mozzarella to maintain the protein-to-calorie ratio • Experiment with different vegetable toppings like spinach, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for variety • Ensure your oven is fully preheated for a crispy pizza crust • Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to allow cheese to set and prevent burning • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking • Season generously with herbs like oregano and basil for enhanced flavor without added calories
