Steps

To Prepare the Pulled Chicken 🍗

Slow cook a large chicken breast on the 8-hour slow cooker setting overnight. You can prepare more if you like, but 1 breast is adequate for 5 pizzas (approximately 1 per day of your busy work week!). Once cooked, remove the water from the dish and shred using two forks. This should make 5 servings of ~50g cooked chicken. Note that water/moisture is lost during cooking.

To Make the FODMAP Friendly Pizza Sauce 🍝

Blend the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and seasonings in a food processor for 10 seconds. Weigh the total, then divide evenly to have the amount necessary for 5 pizzas (approximately 118g). Refrigerate in an airtight container.

To Prepare the Veggies 🍕

Slice and chop your tomatoes and bell peppers into small pieces. Keep them refrigerated in an airtight container for your pizza creation leisure!

To Make Your Pizza

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Take a tortilla and cut it in half, placing it on a lightly greased pizza tray. (Note: If you don’t want to do a stuffed crust, you can keep it whole.)
  3. Lay the Borden sliced cheese on one half – “the base”. Cut the cheese roughly into 3 pieces and place the pieces towards the circular edges for the “stuffed crust effect.”
  4. Place the remaining tortilla half on top of the cheese-topped base.
  5. Spoon over 1 serving of the tomato basil sauce to evenly coat the pizza base.
  6. Add the sliced tomato and bell peppers.
  7. Add the 50g serving of pulled chicken.
  8. Top with the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.
  9. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, uncovered.
