Healthy Mini Mushroom & Chicken Pizzas

Mini Mushroom & Chicken Pizzas (That Happen to Be Healthy!)

​Mini pizzas have been a party favourite for decades, and for good reason. They’re easy to make, incredibly satisfying, and downright delicious.

This version gives the classic mini pizza a nutritious upgrade using quality ingredients like sprouted grain English muffins, lean chicken, and mushrooms, which happen to be nutritional powerhouses.

Why Mushrooms Deserve the Spotlight

Mushrooms are one of the rare natural food sources of vitamin D. They absorb it from the sun while growing and then pass it on to you. ​How amazing is that?

But it doesn’t stop there. They’re also packed with antioxidants and nutrients that may support immune function, protect against certain diseases (like cancer), and even help balance blood sugar, improve gut health, and support your thyroid and metabolism.

Plus, their meaty, umami-rich flavour makes them a satisfying plant-based addition to just about any dish.

(Serves 4)
Ingredients:

• 4 sprouted grain English muffins
• 3 oz (85 g) cooked chicken (leftovers work great!)
• 6 button mushrooms, chopped
• 1 cup (245 g) tomato sauce (choose a no-sugar-added variety)
• ½ cup (55 g) goat cheese crumbles

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350ºF (177ºC).

1. Split the English muffins in half and place them crust-side down on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each.
2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms with the cooked chicken.
3. Spoon 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce onto each muffin half.
4. Top with about 3 tablespoons of the chicken-mushroom mixture.
5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of goat cheese on top.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is warm and slightly golden.
7. Let cool slightly before serving (if you can wait!).

Perfect as a party appetizer or a quick weekday meal, these mini pizzas prove that healthy and delicious can absolutely go hand in hand.

Enjoy!... and try not to eat them all before your guests arrive!
