Peanut Butter Pizza....Why Not?!

I can honestly say I don't know anyone who doesn't like pizza in some form. I consider myself a pizza snob- I hate fast food chain restaurant style pizza like Pizza Hut, Greco, Papa Johns, etc etc. I can totally do without any day! But if it's gourmet style pizza's, the old fashioned brick oven kind with toppings like pesto, chicken, artisinal cheeses, and any unique combination of veggies and other sauces then bring it on. And it doesn't have to be a rare occasion treat if you make it right at home.

Two of my loves- peanut butter and gourmet pizza. Combining the two might sound a little crazy to you (I won't deny that it does.....) but trust me on this one....any girl I know will love this. As for the fellas, maybe not but the best part is that a single serve-fit-gal-pizza isn't for sharing. You can devour the entire thing and feel good about it! Super fast, super yummy, super fit....bring on the skinny girl pizza!


  • 1 large whole grain tortilla (or use gluten free)
  • 2 tsp natural creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp light BBQ sauce
  • 2 oz cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 1 cup veggies of choice eg: shredded carrots, mushrooms, peppers, onion, etc
  • 1 oz (1/4 cup) 2% shredded pizza blend cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

Place the tortilla on the baking sheet. Mix the peanut butter and BBQ sauce until smooth. Spread over the tortilla.

Top with veggies, chicken and then the cheese. Garnish with parsley and spices.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tortilla is crispy golden and the cheese is melted.

Remove from oven. Cut and eat (permission to eat the entire pizza).
