My kids wanted pizza AGAIN! But my hips don't like pizza anymore.....or maybe they like it too much! I noticed that the pepperoni I bought was only 13 calories per slice (Only?) so I decided to make a lower fat pizza/pasta dish using chicken breast. It was really good! It has 550 calories, but remember that a slice of pizza can be around 400 calories! For One piece! YIKES! Add a nice green salad with low fat dressing and you have a whole meal under 600 calories. Reduce the chicken to 3 oz, and the pepperoni to turkey pepperoni & you could save much more fat and calories. Ingredients:
4 ounces chicken breasts, 1 frozen fillet |
2 slices pepperoni, minced |
3 black olives, coarsely chopped |
1/3 cup pineapple chunk, diced |
1/3 cup pizza sauce |
2 ounces whole wheat penne, wholegrain hodgeson's mill, good |
Directions:
1. Nuke frozen chicken in microwave however you usually do it. I leave mine in it's plastic wrapper for 4 minutes.
2. Boil Penne to your degree of oneness, drain and return to pot.
3. Dice chicken and add to Penne -Set aside.
4. Heat pizza sauce on stove, adding minced pepperoni, chopped olive and chopped pineapple.
5. When chicken and pasta are both done, add to the heated sauce.
6. Top with Parmesan or feta cheese (optional and not included in calorie count).
7. Enjoy!
