High-Protein Margherita Pizza with Fresh Basil
Oven-baked whole wheat crust topped with herb-seasoned chicken and melted fresh mozzarella, finished with a fragrant chiffonade of garden-fresh basil.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 medium whole wheat pita
0.25 cup San Marzano tomato sauce
1.5 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
5 whole fresh basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into very thin strips and season them with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat with half of the olive oil and sauté the chicken until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Place the whole wheat pita on the prepared baking sheet and brush the surface with the remaining olive oil.
Spread the San Marzano tomato sauce evenly over the pita, leaving a half-inch border around the edge for the crust.
Distribute the cooked chicken strips evenly over the sauce and top with torn pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are crisp.
Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with the fresh basil leaves, either whole or thinly sliced, before serving.
