Your typical frozen pizza tends to have a processed starchy cardboard-like base,
tends to be low in protein, high in saturated fat, high in salt,
And fairly low in actual nutrients, e.g. magnesium, iron, etc.
Heres a recipe for a treat meal, a bbq chicken & veg pizza thats low in carbs,
high in protein, and has about a weeks worth of fresh veg thrown in.
Really cheap, really quick to make, and tastes ten times better than the frozen crap.
Preparation time 10 mins, cooking time 15 mins. Serves 2-4 with a salad.
Ingredients:
2 corn/flour tortilla wraps (feel free to try a wholemeal one but can be more brittle)
2 chicken breasts
1 medium sized white/red onion
100-150g fresh spinach
3-4 button mushrooms
1/2 yellow/red pepper
3-4 tablespoons reggae reggae sauce / hot bbq sauce
red pesto
tomato puree / cheap pasta sauce
seasoning (paprika, pepper, coriander etc to taste)
olive/coconut oil for cooking
20-30g half fat cheese, grated
Directions:
Pre chop veg, lightly stirfry onion, spinach in olive/cocout oil for 2-3 minutes high heat.
Remove to the side in a bowl.
Stirfry diced chicken breast that has been marinated in reggae reggae sauce overnight,
in a plastic sandwich bag. (if not, just add while stir-frying).
Fill 1/3 cup tomato puree/pasta sauce, add 2 teaspoons red pesto, mix.
Spread mixture evenly over two tortillas.
Spread out cooked chicken pieces evenly over the two.
Same deal with cooked onion and spinach.
Slice mushrooms and pepper thinly, layer on top.
Season with a little pepper and coriander, paprika before putting in oven.
Sprinkle very light covering of grated half-fat cheese on top.
Cook 10-15 mins 200 degrees C.
Serve a crunchy salad on the side.
Enjoy
Prepare to be nagged into making it more often.
