BBQ Pita Bread Pizza with Vegetables and Optional Chicken

One of my staple meals.

Ingredients:

• Pita bread (1 per serving)
• Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce (2 tablespoons per pita)
• Mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup per pita)
• Bell peppers, thinly sliced into rings (1/2 pepper per pita)
• Tomatoes, thinly sliced and then halved (1 small tomato per pita)
• Onions, finely diced (1/4 onion per pita)
• Jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced (1 pepper per pita, adjust to taste)
• Optional vegetables: mushrooms, thinly sliced
• Garlic powder, oregano, parsley, or other herbs (1/2 teaspoon each per pita)
• Optional: chicken (leftovers, rotisserie, or sliced deli, 1/2 cup per pita)
• Olive oil (1 teaspoon for drizzling)
• Feta cheese (2 tablespoons for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to broil to preheat, then switch to bake at 325°F after placing the pita on the middle rack. (350°F if the pita is frozen).
2. Prepare the Pita: Spread 2 tablespoons of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce evenly over the pita bread.
3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the pita.
4. Prepare Vegetables: Thinly slice bell peppers into rings, thinly slice and halve tomatoes, finely dice onions, and thinly slice jalapeño peppers. If using mushrooms, thinly slice them as well.
5. Add Vegetables: Pile on the prepared vegetables, spreading them evenly over the cheese.
6. Season: Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, oregano, parsley, or other herbs.
7. Add Meat (Optional): If using, add 1/2 cup of chicken (leftovers, rotisserie, or deli sliced), avoiding canned chicken for texture reasons.
8. Bake: Place on the middle rack of the oven and cook until the toppings are brown around the edges, approximately 10-15 minutes.
9. Slice: Cut the pita into fourths using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
10. Add Final Touches: Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil if desired and top with 2 tablespoons of feta cheese post-cooking.
