Grilled Chicken, Goat Cheese, & Roasted Red Pepper Pizza

It’s best to buy goat cheese that is precrumbled. This will save you time and make it easier to spread the cheese across the entire pizza, requiring less to get some in every bite. If you do buy it in a tube (it may make sense if it’s significantly less expensive that way), freeze it slightly before attempting to crumble it. It will crumble much easier.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 (10-ounce) Boboli whole-wheat pizza crust
1/2 cup low-fat pizza or marinara sauce (lower-sodium, if possible)
8 ounces Basic Grilled Chicken (see page 219) or lean, store-bought grilled chicken, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup drained jarred roasted red bell pepper strips
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) goat cheese crumbles
Chopped fresh cilantro or basil leaves, to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Place the crust on a baking sheet large enough for it to lie flat. Spread the sauce evenly over the crust to cover all but the outer 1/2 inch. Top the sauce evenly with the chicken, bell pepper strips, and then the goat cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the crust is lightly crisped, 10 to 12 minutes. Top the pizza with cilantro or basil, and then let it stand 5 minutes. Slice it into 8 equal wedges and serve immediately.
