Low Carb Chicken Pizza



This recipe is a staple in our house. My husband and I limit our carb intake and try to maximize the amount of protein we take in each day, and this recipe fits into our plan perfectly. It has 40 grams of protein and only 29 grams of carbs while still offering a satisfyingly crunchy "crust."

This pizza takes just a few minutes to throw together and tastes so much better than those frozen pizzas full of preservatives and chemicals. Healthy is easy!
 

Ingredients:
1 spinach tortilla (I like Trader Joe's Spinach Tortillas)
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 jalepeno, sliced
1 1/2 slices mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cooked chicken, chopped
1 tablespoon sun dried tomatoes, chopped
pizza sauce

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place tortilla on a non stick cookie sheet. Top the tortilla with the pizza sauce, chicken, red pepper, jalapeno and sun dried tomatoes. Then rip up the mozzarella cheese into little pieces and layer over the the top. Bake in the oven for 12-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortilla is light brown and crispy.
