But for the purpose of today’s post, we are going to be making buffalo chicken pizza.
Grocery List: Normally I hit up Publix, Trader Joes, but mainly ALDI!

- Cauliflower pizza crust
- 1 red onion
Aldi:
- 1 can of chicken broth
- Chicken breasts
- Jar of banana peppers
- Buffalo hummus
- Buffalo wing sauce
- Cooking spray
- Light ranch
Trader Joes:
- Lite mozzarella cheese
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
- 2-4 chicken breast
- Can of chicken broth
- Buffalo wing sauce
- Ranch seasoning packet
For the rest of the pizza:
- Cooking spray
- Cauliflower pizza crust
- ¼ cup of a red onion
- ¼ cup of banana peppers

Also…this cauliflower crust is L I F E & it is two crusts for $6.99 at Publix.
Directions:
For the chicken:
Before assembling the pizza, the chicken MUST be cooked FIRST. With
this recipe, I chose to use the crockpot, but you can use the stove, oven, or even the grill…whichever you prefer.
- Cut and clean the chicken. For this recipe you really only need 1-2 chicken breasts, but I used more for meal prep for the week.
- Add chicken to the crockpot.
- Add 1/2 can of chicken broth to the crockpot.
- Add 1 pack of ranch seasoning to the crockpot.
- Add 1 cup of buffalo wing sauce to the crockpot.
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- Cook on high for 4.5 hours OR low for 8 hours.
- Shred chicken.
Rest of the pizza:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Put the cauliflower crust on a cooking sheet and spray with a little bit of cooking spray.
- Allow the crust to roast for five minutes.
- Take the crust out of the oven and cover with the buffalo hummus (3 tablespoons), cheese (1/4 cup), red onion, banana peppers, and chicken.
- Allow pizza to cook for 13-15 minutes.
- Broil for one minute if you are feeling the crispy.

Smartpoints:
1/3 of the crust is 5 smart points.
Cheese for the entire pizza was counted as 2 points.
Buffalo Hummus for the entire pizza was counted as 4 points.
Everything else was ZERO!
We split this pizza in half and I tracked it as 11 point total.
