2016-09-16
what is up guys is VT back here again with another cooking episode today we are making some healthy pizzas and today I want to focus on finding healthy substitutions for maybe foods that we might go to that are easy so like pizza something that we all crave who doesn't like pizza seriously if you know them tell them tell them to watch this video and we're going to make them a believer now anyways today we have a protein pizza so this is a pizza you can heat up at work and it'll still taste great you can have it maybe half now half later a quarter now a quarter later and kind of plan out your meals and keep your metabolism high so this pizza is all around just a good option to get all your micronutrients macronutrients in and I really like this pizza when cutting even so we're going to get into how to make this thing already let's do it so let's start off with what you're going to need to cook all this you're going to need six to eight ounces of chicken whole wheat pita for the crust pizza sauce or tomato sauce it's up to you tomato sauce has a little less carbs in it so it's a better option if you're really trying to watch those calories and your carb consumption and also you're going to need some light mozzarella cheese some mushrooms and spinach now for the vegetables these are what i like the mushrooms and spinach but you can also pick up whatever vegetables that you like whether that onions jalapenos sardines i mean it's really up to you what you like so that's the beauty of this is you can kind of make this pizza what you like not a one size fits all you can fit it to your liking and that's going to enable you to want to eat it more often okay now with all that being said we're going to move in to the chicken prep now one big seeker with chicken is you want to hat your chicken dry I never used to do this now we put the seasoning on it would fall off and it the chicken wouldn't have any flavor once I cooked it because it was just melt off so Pat your chicken dry this will keep the seasoning on and it'll keep some of that moisture in the chicken now I like to slice my chicken instead of dicing it because it gives it a little bit more moisture to the chicken and it's not dry so that's the reason why I like to do it that way I like to then season my chicken with Montreal chicken seasoning now you don't have to use this seasoning again you can use whatever seasoning that you like whether that's just salt and pepper no salt and pepper if you're really watching your sodium consumption it's really up to you what you want to do with this pizza I like to cook this in a skillet with olive oil or coconut oil here I'm using some olive oil just because it's what I had available either way it works just fine so you want to just cook it until the chicken is white obviously you don't want to have that pink chicken and get sick so don't blame me if you don't cook your chicken properly now after this I like to dice up the chicken to make it a little bit more easier to put it on the actual pizza and you can fit more and kind of maneuver it around the edges and things like that from here is pretty much self-explanatory you're just going to lay out some cooking paper which I really like because it allows you to get the crust really crispy crispy AF and just like a regular pizza would so it's not all soggy is not feeling like a PITA crest anymore now you can also just lay it on the rack but I prefer it this way just to keep the mess contained when you put it into the actual oven now you're going to lay the base the press the pita bread on to the cooking sheet and then you're going to add the pizza sauce base or your tomato sauce tomato paste I should say and leave I like to leave a little bit of room around the outside edges for grabbing you know you don't want to have messy hands while you're eating this especially if you take this to work now you're going to add on the cheese this cheese doesn't have any carbs in it so you can do what you like and it's really low in fat as well which is really really nice I really like this cheese again you can use whatever cheese you like depending on your macros or how you're feeling that day if it's really a cheat day you can do Mexican shredded cheese whatever you like that's all so amazing it's up to you next up you're going to add the chicken to fill the whole pizza and then after that you're going to add spinach and the mushrooms to the top of that and then if you want you can add a little bit more cheese on top or just leave it as is it's really up to you and then you're going to want to preheat the oven to 400 degrees now once you get to 400 degrees then you want to place the cooking sheet into with the pizzas of course into the oven on the middle rack and let it cook for 10 minutes then check on the pizza to make sure that the crust is hard it's not burnt you know like you don't want that unless that's your thing it's really up to you but I like to about 10 minutes is about the right time for me you can leave it in there a little bit longer if you like it that much more crispy after that after it's all beautiful and golden the cheese is all melted and Louie and gooey and it just looks like something you would see on TV on the cookie network it's beautiful then you can cut it into four pieces now I do this because you can take each slice and do what you want with it so you can have half the pizza now half later or if you want you can have a quarter now a quarter in two hours another quarter in another hour just to keep your metabolism going so you're not stuffing your face and this is a really good strategy for weight loss just to keep your metabolism burning it's like a furnace as long as you're feeding that fire it's gonna be all good if you if you don't feed it that fire is going to burn out or if you feed it too much it's gonna go crazy right so keep that furnace at a nice level all day the macros for this pizza drumroll please r 46 grams of protein 33 grams of carbs and 12 grams of fat can you believe that can you believe that and it tastes like the real thing this is also great if you want to pack it up for lunch for the next day you can bake two pizzas for pizzas at once and just leave it for the next day it's just as good the next day I kid you not it's crazy guys let me tell you the pizza turned out amazing just so you know I'm not kidding I ate it is eatable at least you know that it's eatable anyways thank you guys for watching I hope you guys have learned something I hope you guys will make the pizza let me know down in the comments whether you made it or not and how it tasted how you like it if you added your own vegetables to it what you like it's really up to you to play with what you like and the things that you like which is what's great about this recipe is that we all have different tastes and you can put that into the pizza and it'll taste amazing no matter what you put in there alright so just as long as you're not putting like donuts stuff like that on to the pizza you're you're gonna be okay for your diet alright guys so thank you very much for watching I will see you guys in the next
