Grocery list: balsamic vinegar, honey, pre-baked whole grain pizza crust, mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, crushed red pepper flakes. The whole grain crust has a lower GI than white flour crusts, making it a better choice for PCOS.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120ml) balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
- 1 pre-baked pizza crust (whole grain)
- 1 cup (240ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120g) cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 1/2 cup (75g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup (10g) fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
- In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half.
- Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread the balsamic reduction over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half the cheese over the balsamic reduction. Top with chicken, tomatoes, and the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and top with fresh basil and red pepper flakes. Slice and serve immediately.
This PCOS-friendly pizza is a delicious and easy dinner option. The whole grain crust and chicken provide plenty of protein, while the balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness. The tomatoes and basil add fresh flavor and important nutrients. The low GI of the whole grain crust, along with the protein and fiber, can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is important for managing PCOS. The chicken provides a good source of B vitamins, which can help with energy levels and mood regulation.
