BBQ "Chicken" Pizza

You will need:

-1 pack of Beyond Meat Chicken strips (I used the lightly seasoned flavor)

-1 pre-made whole wheat pizza crust (feel free to use any other vegan pizza crust..watch out for honey!)

-1 bottle of vegan BBQ sauce (I used Annie’s Brand Sweet and Spicy)

-½ yellow onion (more or less to taste)

-1 bell pepper (I used red but use whichever color tickles your fancy)

-Halved Grape tomatoes (to taste)

-Daiya brand “cheese” (to taste)  I used Pepper Jack and Mozzarella, but feel free to use whatever flavor creams your twinkie.

-1 avocado

-Cilantro (to taste)

Directions:

-Pre heat oven to the temperature on the pre-made pizza crust.  I will likely be around 400 degrees

-While the oven is pre-heating, coat your pizza crust with a generous amount of the BBQ sauce…don’t be shy!

-Once you have the desired amount of sauce on the crust, place the shredded (or chopped) “chicken” bits on the crust as well as the onion (I like raw onion, but feel free to lightly sauté before), bell pepper (I used raw, but feel free to lightly sauté), and tomatoes.

-Top with the Daiya brand cheese.  Daiya can get very heavy and oily, so I used only enough to lightly cover my toppings…but feel free to use as much as you want…don’t say I didn’t warn you!

-Once the oven is at the desired temperature, place the pizza directly on the center rack. 

-Let bake for 12-15 minutes (longer if you want it more well done).

-Let cool for 5-10 minutes.

-Placed sliced avocado and cilantro on the pizza once it has cooled down. 

-Slice up and enjoy!

This is a very light, flavorful pie!
