BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Pizza
Sweet potato as a pizza crust!? Who knew.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 red onion
- ½ cooked, shredded chicken breast I made a batch of slow cooked chicken breast ahead of time
- BBQ sauce I used a lower sugar one
- partially skimmed shredded mozzarella
- cilantro for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stab sweet potato with a fork a couple times to give it ventilation.
- Bake sweet potato for 40 to 60 minutes, depending how big it is. Take it out when it is soft and tender. Leave oven on.
- While sweet potato bakes, boil chicken breast if needed to make shredded chicken. Chop red onion into slivers, and cilantro if using.
- When Sweet potato is cooked and cooled slightly, slice in half (length-wise) and open. Cover with parchment paper and press a skillet down on top to flatten (with skin on the bottom). You are looking to get a 1/2 inch thick pizza-shaped crust.
- Season crust with salt and pepper and a little touch of olive oil. Place back int he oven for about 10 minutes.
- Once crust has cooked slightly, top with BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, red onions, mozzarella, and cilantro. Put back in oven for 5-10 minute, until the cheese has melted.
- Take out, let cool slightly, and enjoy.
