How to Make Healthy Chicken Alfredo Pizza
Now I am going to tell you what ingredients you need to make this delicacy and how to make it.
Ingredients You Need
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (for the crust)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup fresh spinach (optional)
Alternative Ingredients
If you do not have the ingredients I listed above, do not worry. You can swap them out for the alternatives below.
| Ingredient | Alternative |
|---|---|
| Whole wheat flour | All-purpose flour |
| Greek yogurt | Regular plain yogurt |
| Almond milk | Any low-fat milk |
| Part-skim mozzarella | Low-fat cheddar |
| Parmesan cheese | Nutritional yeast |
| Olive oil | Avocado oil |
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up.
- Make the crust by mixing whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add Greek yogurt and knead into a dough. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Shape it into a circle or rectangle and transfer it to a baking sheet.
- Prepare the Alfredo sauce by whisking together almond milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and olive oil.
- Spread the sauce evenly over the crust using a spoon or pastry brush.
- Add toppings by sprinkling shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and spinach (if using) over the sauce.
- Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve hot.
Helpful Tips
- If you don’t have time to make the crust, use a whole wheat tortilla or pre-made pizza dough.
- Want extra crunch? Brush the crust edges with olive oil before baking.
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier base.
- Store leftover chicken separately to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
- If you like spice, add some red pepper flakes.
