AWESOME BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA
This pizza recipe is quick and easy and makes a great tasting, low cost, low fat, low
calorie, healthy pizza that has NO Trans Fat. The crust is available in a
variety of styles but the Whole Grain is lower calorie and the first ingredient is Whole Grain.
Whole Grain has a lower glycemic index and has a more positive effect on
our digestive system and metabolism. Pizza sauce and Buffalo sauce are both low
cal, no fat so we can use as much as we like. I like to mix them 50/50. Grilled
Chicken is also low cal, low fat and the Fajita strips add fun flavor. Turkey
Pepperoni is also an acceptable meat topping that has great flavor. By using
Parmesan and Italian Cheese we add a minimal amount of Sat Fat but still get the
traditional richness of cheese. By sprinkling a loose layer of bacon bits on top
of the cheese they brown a little as the pizza bakes adding a little smoky
flavor.
This recipe produces a 2 pound pizza that is fun to make and
full of flavor without being greasy or unhealthy. The entire pizza is only about
1000 calories and 20g of Sat Fat. So if I split this Pizza with my wife, I get a
good meal that is only about 500 calories and 10g of Sat Fat which is a fraction
of most restaurant burgers.
Check out the slide show below and have fun. Don’t be afraid to get creative and add
your own favorite toppings. Just remember that common pizza pepperoni and
sausage add a large amount of Saturated Fat and many also contain Trans
Fat.
Buffalo Sauce tends to be high in sodium. For a low sodium opton. Eliminate the Buffalo Sauce. And use 4 to 6 oz of Pizza Sauce. Before adding the cheese, sprinkle on ground Cayenne Pepper until you have as much heat as you like. With this option you get the heat and flavor of the Buffalo Sauce without all the sodium.
