The PERFECT summer pizza!

Friends, I’d like you to meet my new favorite pizza! This flatbread pizza screams summer. It’s loaded with barbecue sauce and chicken. And, unless you tell someone, there’s no way they’re going to know it’s healthy. Half of a good-sized BBQ chicken flatbread will set you back about only 300 calories and will power you with 35 grams of protein so you can dominate your opponents in horseshoes. Or whatever the kids are playing these days.  It’s loaded with grilled chicken and onions and corn and other veggies that make summer awesome. What are you waiting for?
