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!

Mexican Pizza


Juicy tomato salsa, spicy taco sauce, seasoned ground beef, hearty black beans, sharp cheddar cheese, black olives and green onions give this pizza a varied and developed flavor profile. Served on a crispy wheat crust, each slice is quite filling and tastes incredibly indulgent for only 5
Weight Watchers Points+ or around 200 calories. This pizza comes together quickly and would be perfect for an easy weeknight meal or served alongside ice cold cervezas at your next Mexican fiesta.

Source: Emily Bites Original

Ingredients:
3.25 oz uncooked 95% lean ground beef (according to my calculations – I weighed before and after - this makes about 3 oz seasoned & cooked, so if you decide to brown up a whole pound with a packet of taco seasoning and just use some for this recipe, weigh out 3 oz cooked for this pizza)
2 t reduced sodium taco seasoning (again, if you are going to cook the whole pound of beef so that you have leftover taco meat, just use the whole packet)
Boboli 12” Whole Wheat Thin Pizza Crust
½ cup chunky salsa (I used mild)
2 T taco sauce (I used medium)
1/3 c canned black beans, drained and rinsed
¾ c reduced fat 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 medium black olives, sliced
1 medium scallion (green parts only), chopped

Directions:
1.    Preheat the oven to 450.
2.    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Add taco seasoning and stir to thoroughly combine. Set aside.
3.    In a small bowl, combine the salsa and taco sauce and stir together. Spread the mixture evenly across the surface of the pizza crust, leaving at least a ½ inch edge around the outside. Sprinkle the black beans across the top of the salsa layer and then follow with the reserved taco meat. Sprinkle the cheese evenly across the top and then follow with the sliced olives.
4.    Place pizza on a foil covered baking sheet, a pre-heated pizza stone (my preference) or straight onto the oven rack (depending on how you like your crust) and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven, slice and sprinkle the chopped scallions over the top.

Yields 6 slices. Weight Watchers Points Plus: 5 per slice (P+ calculated using the recipe builder on weightwatchers.com)
