Ciao Down on Pizza! NewMeMD 's Waistline-Friendly Grilled BBQ Chicken Flatbread

"Von Appetito," it’s pizza night! If you're craving this particular calorie-laden Italian favorite but want something a bit more waistline friendly, this grilled flatbread pizza from our wellness team at NewMeMD is the ticket. 

Feel free to pile on extra veggies when you prepare this dish (Why not try it tonight for dinner?). Ciao!!

Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 red onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 yellow or red bell pepper, sliced (about 1 cup)
- pinch of black pepper
- 12 oz. skinless chicken breast
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tbsp. pineapple juice
- ¼ cup chopped pineapple, packed in ice
- ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 slices of Canadian bacon, chopped

Directions
1. Preheat the grill to 500 degrees and place the onions and peppers on a grill tray or a large sheet of heavy duty foil. Sprinkle with pepper.
2. Coat both sides of the chicken with cooking spray. 
Transfer the veggies and chicken to the grill. 
3. Cook chicken 3-4 minutes on each side, until the inside temperature reaches 165 degrees.
4. Remove chicken and veggies from the grill, then lower the heat to 400 degrees. Transfer chicken to a clean cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces.
5. Add grilled veggies, barbecue sauce and pineapple juice to a blender and pulse until a chunky sauce consistency is formed.
6. Place flatbreads on a pizza stone, pizza screen or baking sheet prepped with non-stick spray. 

7. Spread ½ cup of your pizza sauce on each flatbread and top with chicken, cheese, pineapple and Canadian bacon. Place on the grill.
8. Close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes until cheese has melted.
9. Remove from grill and cool slightly before serving.

10. Slice, serve & enjoy your guilt-free pizza!
