Chipotle Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Pizza

May 15, 2011 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 13 Comments

This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Kraft.

Chipotle Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Pizza ~ This is one lean mean 30 minute pizza. Low-fat and punching with flavors, this meal will pretty much become a repeat offender in your home.

Roasted Chipotle Chicken and Vegetable

Chipotle Roasted Chicken and Vegetable

Made with oven-roasted vegetables, oven-roasted chicken, and a rich tasting low-fat Chipotle Pizza Sauce, this recipe is love at first bite. This Chipotle Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Pizza is also a recipe I created in honor of the Real Women of Philadelphia contest for the entrée portion.

I’m kind of bummed that I don’t get to enter this baby, but I’m happy to say that you can whip up your own recipe featuring Philadelphia Cream Cheese for a chance to win $25,000. How’s that for some generous lov’n from Kraft? Click here to enter.

If you are like me and deathly fearful of being on camera join the community and submit your own recipes or find recipes. Once you do, I would love to hear what recipe inspired you!  And don’t forget to click here to see what some of my other fellow bloggers created for Kraft’s RWOP community.

Pizza is a favorite in our house, but I don’t always have time to mess with making pizza dough from scratch. And to be honest, after working all day I don’t always have the desire to compose a dinner that requires 45 minutes of prep and cooking.

I’m all about quick weeknight dinners during the work week. To shave some prep time I used store-bought, oven-roasted chicken, and a “no mess” pizza crust, and by that, I mean just that. The crust is actually Naan bread that I placed underneath the broiler to crisp up. Thin and light is how my family loves pizza crust.  Naan is a perfect alternative to making homemade crust for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. In terms of keeping this a lighter meal, I used Philadelphia’s 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese for the chipotle sauce and skipped all shredded cheese.

The longest part of the recipe prep was playing a game of “Don’t ask. Don’t tell” with Matt.  If you are regular reader, you know Matt is a picky/highly sensitive eater. Texture, flavors, color all play into it, so this was something my girlfriend and I coined and then we worked out some strategic measures to get us through the suspicious glances and interrogating questions.

If you’ve been gifted with a picky eater, here are a few work-around tricks tips:

  • Avoid all interrogating questions about the ingredients and definitely avoid eye contact when being asked about them.
  • Mumble a lot when answering questions you can’t avoid.
  • Act busy.  Too busy to be bothered.
  • Distract and obfuscate.
  • Give a forward looking statement of “It’s all stuff you like.”

It doesn’t work all the time, and I wished it worked more but on this occasion it did go in my favor. Although, I should mention he pulled off all the cilantro.

    The pizza looks amazing. Naan bread, why didn’t i think of that! I’m always bummed out about making the dough it seems to take forever. This is a great alternative thanks! I’ll try the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” too 🙂

    Hi Sapir-Instead of cheese I used Philadelphia’s low fat cream cheese and mixed it with a chipotle sauce. I also used chicken as my lean meat for the pizza versus something like sausage or pepperoni.

    Your recipe says 1/4 chipotle sauce + 2 Tbs. Is it 1/4 cup? And did you buy sauce in a bottle or something? I think I have only seen the cans of chipotles in adobo but I don’t think it has that much actual sauce in it. It looks yummy though. Love your picky eater tricks, I have one of those too…

    Steve-I would use tempeh or sliced portobellos as a vegetarian alternative.

    Hi Christina- Whoops! Thanks for letting me know. It’s 1/4 cup sauce and I used bottled chipotle sauce.

    What do you recommend to use instead of chicken or other meat, for a vegetarian?

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs

1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
