BBQ chicken sausage and avocado naan pizza is a must try! So, my house loves to have Friday night as pizza night! Me, being my healthy self had to find something else to use besides ordering pizza. I discovered Naan bread a few years back. Once I started using Naan bread, I ever looked back.
Naan bread comes in a variety of flavors. Original, whole wheat, and roasted garlic are their three flavors. I always use whole wheat. 1 slice of whole wheat Naan bread (a whole pizza) has 390 calories in it, 10 grams of fat, 11 grams of protein, and 8 grams of fiber. There is also zero trans fat, which is the "bad fat", so that is a plus!
Ingredients to make this Naan Pizza
You will need some Naan bread of course. I always use Stonefire Naan bread. (linked below) You will need one 12 oz package of Italian chicken sausage. Slice the chicken sausage down the middle and remove the casings before cooking. You will also need 1 tbsp of avocado or coconut oil, ¼ cup of BBQ sauce.
My favorite to use is Tessemae's organic BBQ sauce (linked below), and obviously you cannot forget the cheese. I recommend using fresh mozzarella cheese that you can slice. You will also need 1 avocado, cut into slices, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of basil, 1 tsp oregano and 1 tsp of kosher salt. You will also need a pizza pan. I like to use one with holes in it to help make the bottom nice and crispy. I've linked the one I have below.
