Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 8 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup No-salt-added tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Granulated garlic
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, part-skim, low sodium
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In a medium skillet, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the chicken breast and poach for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, in a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the cayenne pepper, white vinegar, and tomato sauce. Mix until well combined and then set aside.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet, allow it to cool slightly, and shred it with two forks. Mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until well coated.

Step 5

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper and brush the surface with some olive oil.

Step 6

Spread the chicken evenly over the dough, followed by slices of green bell pepper and red onion. Top with the mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 8

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 4 servings. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
