I love the new flatbreads that make a great low-calorie pizza crust. My grocery chain carries a brand called FlatOut in the deli area. If you can't find flatbreads, use a thin pre-baked pizza crust or use pita breads (split in half to make thin rounds). Top with chicken, caramelized red onion and Gruyere for a very fancy treat that is moderate in calories and fat. Ingredients:
4 flat bread (such as flatout , or use 4 pitas, split into 8 thin rounds) |
8 ounces chicken, cooked, cut in pieces |
1 large red onion, sliced |
1 tablespoon oil |
4 tablespoons boursin cheese (cream cheese with herb or garlic seasoning) |
4 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded (or swiss cheese) |
1 cup barbecue sauce, your favorite brand |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Prepare flatbreads - It works best if the flatbreads have dried and crisped a bit before adding pizza toppings. So as my oven is pre-heating, I place the flatbreads on parchment paper and bake them for 5 minutes on each side. After 10 minutes, the flatbread is still soft but it won't get soggy when you bake it with pizza toppings.
3. While flatbreads are pre-baking, saute sliced red onion in 1 T. oil about 8-10 minutes over MEDIUM heat. Set onions aside.
4. To assemble - spread each pre-baked flatbread with 1 T. Boursin cheese. Then divide equally red onion, cooked chicken, and shredded Grueyere cheese. Drizzle each pizza with about 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
5. Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
