TINY KITCHEN BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
I don't know about you guys, but I have a deep and intense love affair with pizza. It might be my second favorite food, just behind tacos. Like most of you, I surely don't think of pizza as a healthy meal BUT (yes, BUT), it absolutely can be a reasonable meal choice when you chef one up at home. It may not be as delightfully greasy and ooey-gooey as your favorite local takeout spot, but homemade pizza is simple and tasty, not to mention fun to make -- just put those kiddos to work loading up pizza toppings while you pour the rosé. See? FUN.
This recipe is my favorite homemade pizza; it's so stinkin' flavor packed you won't believe it AND it's only 366 calories for two slices. YEAH, BOYYYYYY. You read that right. Two tasty slices for under 400 calories! WOOT WOOT! As a reminder, all February long we are sharing our favorite recipes that clock in at under 400 calories a serving and this one might just be my favorite yet.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
