Chicken Day 2

Ok Kristen... ready for more chicken ideas?

You come home CRAVING a pizza.

Options:

1. Grab the take out menu - Giordanno's isn't THAT bad if i get vegetables right?

2. Pop in a high sodium, processed Lean Cuisine that is still about 500 calories of who-knows-what

3. You make your own pizza

Ingredients

100 cal whole wheat english muffins (buy breads with whole grains)

grilled chicken

tomato and basil

shredded mozzarella (made with skim milk to cut fat/calories)

How to

Preheat oven to 400

Toast English Muffin - I like to spray afterwords with PAM olive oil for taste

Place tomato slice, basil, salt and pepper ontop of English Muffin

Place 3 oz of chicken and shredded mozzrrella cheese over the vegetables

Bake for a few minutes until the cheese melts - it melts quick! WATCH.

*Tip - when buying bread, buy whole wheat

*Tip - measure portions of chicken and cheese. it is easy to have a heavy hand, start learning what a portion looks like

*Tip - if you do not have fresh tomato, basil - use pasta sauce

*Tip - if you want a barbeque chicken pizza, marinate chicken in BBQ sauce - (Montgomery Inn is my favorite)

You can play with this recipe

- veggie pizza, chicken alfredo pizza, portabello mushroom pizza, or do what I do -

throw whatever you have left in your fridge ontop.

My favorite type of cooking is one where I don't need to stress out over a recipe.
