This might be my favorite recipe I have posted thus far. It was so easy and so tasty. Typically, my gluten free diet restricts me from being able to have pizza. I know many restaurants offer gluten free alternatives to their regular pizza, in fact a commercial for Domino’s gf crust just played on TV as I write this! However, after being glutened a few times I am always apprehensive to order ‘za from restaurants. I am sure many of you can relate to the fear of gluten cross-contamination. Also, gluten sensitivity often goes hand in hand with lactose intolerance making it difficult to eat full-fat cheese on a regular take-out pizza. This homemade pizza is the perfect alternative because you can control all of the ingredients!
THE CRUST
I used 1 Mission Gluten Free Tortilla Wrap for my pizza. Have you tried these wraps?! They are delicious! I was a little worried about the pizza being too thin however it turned out perfect. The edges were crispy and the center stayed soft. The crust held up under the ingredients so I was able to pick up the pizza one slice at a time. I am sure any wrap or tortilla would work for this recipe. It is a requirement to assemble and bake this pizza on a pizza pan or cookie sheet because the tortilla is too flimsy to withstand being placed directly on the rack. Also, it would burn very quickly on the rack.
THE CHICKEN
This BBQ chicken pizza is so easy because it is made with my simple crock pot shredded barbecue chicken. Have you made this chicken yet? It is SO good! Linking the recipe here. 3 large chicken breasts make 6+ servings of shredded BBQ chicken. It is so versatile and can be eaten as a sandwich, on a salad, pizza, or even BBQ chicken tacos! We had so much left over that I was able to eat this pizza for lunch multiple times. I used Stubb’s Sticky Sweet BBQ sauce for my chicken and pizza because I prefer a brown sugar/honey flavor in my sauce, however any BBQ sauce will do. Be sure to save a few tablespoons to use as sauce on your pizza!
THE TOPPINGS
Spread 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce on the tortilla before adding any toppings. Leave a 1/2 inch rim without sauce around the edge to use as crust. Next, add chicken. I used about 1/2 cup shredded chicken spread evenly across the tortilla. Now add your veggies. I used shredded 1/4 shredded carrots and red onion, however you can use any veggies that would pair well with BBQ such as spinach, mushrooms, celery, coleslaw, etc.
Next, top the pizza with cheese. I used 1/4 cup low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese. Although I am sensitive to dairy I find that I can tolerate low-fat cheese better than regular cheese. Mozzarella is the cheese you will find on traditional pizzas and it pairs very well with BBQ pizza as well. Low-fat mozzarella is also a great way to add more protein to your meal without the added fat. You can use any cheese or dairy-free cheese you would like. Lastly, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley on top and pop it in the oven!
Bake on pizza pan or cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges begin to crisp and cheese is melted. Slice into 4 pieces using a pizza cutter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
