Ingredients
- 1 cup fat free cheese
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 whole wheat pita
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 1 handful Spinach
Set oven to Broil at 475 degrees. Grill chicken breast (foreman grill, bbq, or fry pan will work well). While chicken cooks, take pita and spread 1 tbsp BBQ sauce and ½ cup tomato sauce onto the pita. Add 1 cup cheese onto pita and spread evenly. Take a generous handful of spinach and place it on top of the cheese (it will look like a lot of spinach but it cooks down in the oven). When chicken is grilled, cut or shred into bite size pieces. Toss chicken with your other TBSP BBQ sauce and when mixed thoroughly, place chicken on your pizza. Place pizza on foil and put it in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is browning. Stay close as it cooks fast. Take out of oven and let cool for ten minutes. Then enjoy.
