California Club Pizza

 

Here is my first recipe. :) Friday is pizza night at our house. I'll try to share a bunch of different pizza recipes over the next while so you can have a fun variety. When I think of a healthy pizza this is immediately what comes to mind. So here you go!

California Club Pizza (c/o Pampered Chef with some tweaks)

Ingredients:

1 tsp veggie oil Pizza dough (Use the no fail dough recipe!)

2 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken

2 cups shredded cheese (suggested is Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend)

2 Roma Tomatoes

1/4 medium red onion

1 Medium avocado

1 lemon

6 slices bacon, thinly sliced, cooked and drained (I like to use pre-cooked and crumbled bacon that I buy in bulk and freeze)

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush your pan with oil. Spread dough onto pan. Top crust with chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 16-18 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

2. Meanwhile, dice tomatoes and slice onion (I would cut all of it up and freeze what you don't use). Cut avocado in half, twist and pull to separate the halves and use a spoon to remove the pit. Dice the avocado and place into mixing bowl. Add tomatoes and onion. Juice lemon to measure 2 tablespoons (T) juice. Add to mixing bowl and stir gently.

3. Distribute tomato mixture evenly over pizza. Sprinkle with bacon (if desired). Yields about 8 servings
