| spray olive oil | |
| 1 medium | onion (sliced) |
| 3 ounces | boneless skinless chicken breast |
| 1/4 cup | barbecue sauce |
| 1/4 | whole wheat pizza dough recipe |
| 4 ounces | cherry or grape tomatoes (halved) |
| 1 ounce | reduced fat Monterey jack cheese (shredded) |
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place a pizza stone in the oven and place a medium skillet on top of the pizza stone.
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Add the onions and cook until well browned. Set aside.
When the oven is preheated place the chicken breast in the skillet. Roast on each side for 8 - 10 minutes and remove the skillet.
Increase the heat in the oven to 500°F.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and cut into small strips. Place the chicken strips in a bowl and add the barbecue sauce. Toss well to coat the chicken with the sauce.
When the oven is preheated roll out the pizza dough. Top with the onions and then the tomatoes. Spread the barbecue chicken over the top and place the pizza on the pizza stone in the oven.
Cook for about 5 - 7 minutes and turn the pizza around in case there are any hot spots in the oven. Before turning sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Cut into fourths and serve.

"There's a pizza place near where I live that sells only slices. In the back you can see a guy tossing a triangle in the air."
-Stephen Wright, Comedian
The refrigerator light goes on...
Barbecue sauce is a funny thing. Religion for some and with good reason. The complexities of making a good sauce are debated endlessly. This healthy recipe relies heavily on the brown sugar and jam to create a caramelized glaze on whatever you decide to use it on.
Sugar adds calories plain and simple. If you are really watching calories there are a lot of sauces out there with fewer calories and are actually pretty low in sodium. I generally use them more often than I make my own. I look for ones that are low in both calories and sodium. One of my recent favorites is Arriba!® Fire Roasted Chipotle Bar-B-Q Sauce. Full of flavor, 1/4 cup has only 20 calories and only 300 mg sodium.
