So, for this healthy pizza, you’ll need just a couple of ingredients you already have at home, such as leftover chicken or seasonal veggies. This pizza recipe is very quick and easy to make. It is also very customizable, so you can make it when you don’t have time or you want to use the ingredients you have left.

For this recipe, I specifically used wheat pita bread, diced chicken, hummus, 1/4 cup of cucumber and tomatoes, and 1/8 cup of black olives and feta cheese. As I sad, you can add other ingredients, or omit some, depending on what you have or what you like. In addition to cucumbers and tomatoes, you can also add spinach, peppers, avocados, artichoke hearts or anything else. Instead of feta cheese, use mozzarella, or cheese of your choice.

First step is to bake the pizza dough or toast the pita bread in the oven. Instead of using tomato sauce, I spread the hummus on the pizza crust. If you don’t like hummus, spread something else such as pizza sauce or maybe sour cream.

Dice tomatoes, cucumber and black olives. Add veggies on the pizza, then chicken, feta and garnish with fresh parsley and with a squeeze of lemon. Simple, delicious and refreshing. Boom.
