guiltless chicken pesto pizza

Pizza is one of those foods I thought I had to give up when I was trying to lose weight, but it’s not true! I just had to learn how to make recipes like this so i could enjoy my favorites without the extra grease and excess junk.

That’s exactly why I created my Guiltless Recipe ebook. It has over 135 guilt-free recipes (including desserts & cocktails!) plus everything I learned over 2 years to help you create a healthy, balanced lifestyle you love.

My guiltless Chicken Pest pizza was one of the first pizza’s I made (after trying it at healthier takeout spot) and is still my go-to when I get a pizza craving so let me show you how it’s done👇🏻

Guiltless Chicken Pesto Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 1 pre-made cauliflower crust (or your crust of choice)
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite pesto sauce (I use my lemon-pesto from my Guiltless Recipe Ebook)
  • Grilled chicken breast, thinly sliced (because protein is a must)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 onion, gilled
  • Crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • A pinch of crushed red pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). While that’s heating up, sprinkle a touch of flour on a clean surface and roll out your pizza dough into your desired shape. It’s your pizza canvas – get creative!
  2. Spread the Flavor: Grab that pesto sauce and generously slather it all over your pizza dough. Think of it as your guilt-free flavor foundation.
  3. Chicken Power: Lay out those thinly sliced grilled chicken pieces on top of the pesto-covered canvas. Protein boost? Check!
  4. Tasty Tomato Distribute those halved cherry tomatoes and onion all over.
  5. Gimme that Crunch: Sprinkle those delightful pine nuts all around for a texture that’s nutty and nice.
  6. Feta Frenzy: Time to introduce the star of the show – crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle it generously over the pizza, adding that creamy and tangy punch we all adore.
  7. Into the Oven: Slide your pizza into the preheated oven and let the magic unfold. About 12-15 minutes should do the trick, resulting in a golden crust and melty cheese perfection.
  8. Basil Beauty: Once your pizza emerges from the oven looking on point, sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves on top.
  9. Embrace Guilt-Free Goodness: Slicer it up and remember, this is a guilt-free zone, so savor each bite!
