Equipment
- Small frying pan
- Measuring cups
- Food scale (I like this one)
- Spatula
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pulled chicken I used pre-pulled chicken from Kroger, but you can pull your own or use regular chicken breast, canned chicken breast, etc.
- 1 pita bread I used Joseph’s
- ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese I used full fat, but you can use skim to save a few fat calories
- Buffalo sauce to preference I used Frank’s, but any kind will do
- 1 tbsp Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing Bolthouse is my favorite but any brand will do
- Banana peppers to preference I went with the mild option, can omit
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and spray both sides of your pita with cooking spray.
- Once preheated, add the pitas to the oven on a cooking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the pita begins to brown.
- Add your pulled chicken to a small frying pan and heat just to warm up - pulled chicken is already cooked. Once heated, add your desired amount of Buffalo sauce to the chicken and stir until the chicken is coated.
- Add the chicken to the top of the pita, then the banana peppers, then the cheese.
- Finish it off by drizzling ranch dressing over the top.
- Place the pizza in the oven for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pita are browned.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Pita bread can overcook quickly - keep a close eye on it while it’s cooking!
