cup canned tomato sauce

2 teaspoons reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Optional: salt, black pepper, oregano, onion powder, red pepper flakes, etc.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place tortilla in a baking pan sprayed lightly with nonstick spray and bake in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until slightly crispy.

Combine tomato sauce and garlic powder. Season sauce to taste with the optional ingredients, if desired. Remove tortilla from oven and spread on tomato sauce.

Next, sprinkle crumbles, cheese, and grated topping evenly over sauce. Return pizza to the oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and crumbles are hot.

If you like, top pizza with optional ingredients. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut into slices.

HG Tip
: Watching your salt intake? Cook up your own turkey breast and save about 500mg of sodium. Packaged deli meats are super-high in the stuff!

 

kickin' chicken pot pie

 

PER SERVING (¼th of pie): 235 calories, 6g fat, 723mg sodium, 26g carbs, 3.5g fiber, 6g sugars, 18g protein

 

This chicken pot pie is a surprisingly authentic swap for the real thing. The reduced-fat crescent topping is the best part. Yum!

Ingredients

8 ounces raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 cups frozen mixed vegetables

One 10.75-ounce can Campbell's 98% Fat Free Cream of Celery Soup

3 servings Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook chicken pieces for several minutes in a pan spritzed with nonstick spray, until chicken is light brown (cooked but still tender). Set aside.

Heat frozen veggies in the microwave according to package instructions.

Mix chicken, vegetables, and soup together, and then place in a 9-inch round baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Place dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly, stirring halfway through.

While dish is cooking, unroll 3 crescent rolls. Use your hands to combine pieces into one large ball of dough. With a rolling pin, roll dough out (super-thin) into a circle just large enough to fit inside the dish (a little less than 9 inches wide).

Add dough to the top of the mixture and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until top is golden brown.
