Chicken and Salad Pizza
No need to feel guilty about eating pizza. We cut calories, added belly-slimming MUFAs, and turned this splurge into a slice of diet heaven.
Time: 30
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil (MUFA), divided
1 Tbsp + 2 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
2 c skinless shredded rotisserie chicken breast (8 oz) or leftover roasted chicken breast
2 med tomatoes (8 oz), cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 c coarsely chopped jarred roasted red peppers, blotted dry
1/2 sm red onion, chopped (1/4 c)
1/2 pkg (10 oz) Italian salad mix (5 c loosely packed)
2 oz reduced-fat goat cheese, crumbled
4 whole grain flatbread wraps (10" rectangle), we used Flatout
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix 2 tablespoons of the oil with vinegar, oregano, black pepper, and salt in large bowl. Stir in chicken, tomatoes, red peppers, and onion. Toss to mix. Place greens and cheese on top (don't toss).
3. Put wraps on 2 baking sheets. Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into small bowl and stir in garlic. Spoon oil over each wrap and spread evenly. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly crisped.
4. Place a wrap on each of 4 plates. Toss salad and spoon about 11/2 cups on each wrap. Serve with a knife and fork.

Flat Belly Diet Bonus: Try a flavor-infused olive oil in the vinaigrette (varieties include lemon and grapefruit; sold in specialty and natural food stores). It's a MUFA-rich way to make this—or any—salad more enticing!
