buffalo chicken pizza

i LOVE trying new recipes! we recently ate out at buffalo wild wings and i ordered a flatbread pizza off the menu.  (yes, i know what you're thinking. and yes, i do treat myself to meals out with a semi-occasional "cheat". i'm human...and pizza is a weakness!) it was sooooo yummy!  but the whole time i was eating it, i was already thinking how i could recreate the same thing at home -- except probably a whole lot healthier!!!

give this one a try - you won't be dissappointed!

buffalo chicken pizza

for the crust:
2 TBSP almond flour
1/4 C egg whites
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp italian seasoning

whisk all of the above ingredients in a bowl with a fork.  cook like a pancake (i lightly spray the pan with a little olive oil).  after crust is cooked, transfer to cookie sheet.

for the pizza toppings:
4 TBSP 0% greek yougurt
2 TBSP buffalo sauce (i used frank's)
2 TBSP blue cheese (feta will work, too)
2 TBSP mozzarella cheese
chicken breast, cooked and cubed (could use rotisserie chicken as well)
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 TBSP yellow onion (could use red, too)

combine yogurt with 1 TBSP buffalo sauce and blue cheese. in another bowl, add remaning 1 TBSP buffalo sauce to chicken -- stir to coat.

spread yougurt mixture over crust (already on cookie sheet). add chicken, celery & onion.  top with mozzarella cheese.

bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted. eat this without a smile on your face becuase it is so incredibly delicious -- i dare you ;)
