Diet types:

  • Dialysis

Recipe submitted by DaVita renal dietitian Shannon from Illinois.

Portions: 2     Serving size: 1 pita pizza

Ingredients

  • 2 white pita breads (6-1/2” diameter-regular size)
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium Spicy BBQ Sauce (see DaVita.com recipe)
  • 1/4 cup chopped purple or yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 ounces cooked chicken, cubed
  • few dashes garlic powder

Preparation

    1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
    2. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place 2 pitas on sheet.
    3. Spread 1-1/2 tablespoon BBQ sauce on each pita.
    4. Chop onion to your liking and spread over pitas equally.
    5. Spread cubed chicken over pitas equally.
    6. Sprinkle feta cheese over pitas equally.
    7. Sprinkle pitas with garlic powder.
    8. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes. 

Renal and renal diabetic food choices

  • 2-1/2 meat
  • 2 starch
  • 1/2 vegetable, low potassium

Carbohydrate choices

2-1/2

Helpful hints

  • Eat pita pizzas promptly after baking; otherwise they may become too crispy.
  • Check the nutrition labels and buy the brand of feta cheese and pitas with the lowest amount of sodium.
  • To keep sodium lower use Spicy BBQ Sauce from the recipe on DaVita.com. It has only 43 mg sodium per 2 tablespoons compared to 125-460 mg sodium in commercially prepared barbecue sauce.

MissyChef says:

If each pizza (which is 1 portion) only has 2oz. chicken and 1T. feta cheese, where do the 23g protein come from? Moderator comment: The chicken has 31 g, pita 11 g, feta 4g, totaling 46 g or 23 g protein per serving.
