This BBQ Chicken Pizza is a dream for those of you
who are dairy-free! With all the toppings, you won’t miss the cheese, loaded with
barbecue sauce, pineapple, avocado and chicken. Watch come
together in this quick video...
Pizza night can be healthy!
Try this at your families’ next pizza night or even as a party appetizer. If you are on a diet or trying to improve
your eating habits, recipes like this are a great place to start.
A pizza with
simple ingredients that give you nutrients to live on – how could it be? For starters pineapple is
full of potassium, fiber, calcium, iron and of course, vitamin C. Cilantro is full of potassium and vitamin A.
Choose your BBQ sauce wisely, most are packed with sugar. Natures Promise’s brand is my go to, all organic with only 7 grams of sugar and 35 calories. Oh and the price, only $2.29!

Price: This recipe is a 3 out
of 4 on my price scale. The pre-made pizza crusts are to blame for the high
rating. You can use a variety of things for the crusts – and my mother would
tell me to make it myself, but working full time with everything else I do,
this is just not practical. So I’ve found a couple organic whole wheat crusts I like , Archer Farms Pizza Crust from Target and Whole Foods 365 Rustic White Pizza Crust, which was deceiving at first, “white” is not actually white, the
label says whole wheat flour! Winner!
Nature’s Promise BBQ sauce is
$2.29 at Giant Supermarkets. For the pineapple make sure to find the can marked
– no sugar added, and check the label!! Libbys brand hides some sucrose in there (another name for sugar). Most canned pineapple is around $1.50.
So are you ready to try this?
Here’s the recipe…
Dairy-Free BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe
Serving Size: Makes 2 pizzas, about 5 servings
2 Pre-Made Whole Wheat Crusts
(recommend Archer Farms or Whole Foods 365 brand)
1 Pound Chicken
1/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Water
1 tsp. garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 Cup Natures Promise
Organic BBQ Sauce
1 Cup Pineapple, sliced into
small pieces
½ Red onion chopped into
small pieces
2 Avocados, sliced into small
pieces
¼ cup Cilantro
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
or as recommended on crust packaging. In a medium size skillet, add ¼ cup water
and chicken. Turn heat to medium. Add salt and pepper to taste and minced
garlic to chicken. When done cooking cut into small pieces or shred. On a pizza
pan, place the first whole wheat crust, top with half the bbq sauce, chicken, pineapple
and red onion, saving enough of each for the second pizza. Place in the oven
6-10 minutes or as indicated on crust packaging. Remove from oven and add
avocado and cilantro. Slice into pieces. Repeat with second pizza (or cook
simultaneously if you have two pizza pans).
Can look at my blog to see prices, and nutritional facts of chicken at different grocery stores.
