mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content while still providing a good melt.

jerk chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: seasoned chicken breast

Grilled chicken is leaner and can be seasoned to mimic jerk flavors.

pineapple

🥗Healthier: mango

💰Cheaper: canned pineapple

Canned pineapple is often less expensive and still adds sweetness.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a more budget-friendly option for cooking.

Cut a large chicken breast in half if it's too big; otherwise, use a smaller breast or boneless thigh.

Season the chicken breast with salt, all-purpose seasoning, black pepper, smoked paprika, and jerk seasoning.

Cover the chicken and allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes.

In a pan, add a little unsalted butter and cook the marinated chicken on medium for about 2-3 minutes per side.

Let the chicken rest before cutting it up.

Mix a couple of tablespoons of barbecue sauce with 1 teaspoon of jerk marinade and 1 teaspoon of honey to create a pizza sauce for half the pizza.

Prepare the toppings: have jerk chicken, red onion, fresh pineapple chunks, bell pepper, and freshly grated mozzarella ready.

Spread the homemade pizza dough by hand or with a rolling pin on a baking sheet or pizza tray.

Top half of the pizza with tomato sauce and half with the barbecue sauce mixture.

Add the cheese to the pizza, using as much or as little as you like.

Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes.

If you want the crust to brown more, leave it in for an additional 2-3 minutes.
