Salad Pizza with Grilled Chicken

Name: Salad Pizza with Grilled Chicken
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla (not a low-carb one); 1 teaspoon Gourmet Garden Garlic Blend or frozen garlic (look for Gourmet Garden in a tube in the produce section, or look for frozen garlic at Trader Joe’s); 1 1/2 teaspoons reduced-fat grated Parmesan cheese (look for it in a plastic canister or jar, not in the refrigerated section); 3 cups (about 3 small handfuls) mixed baby greens; 3 tablespoons seeded and finely chopped tomato; 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion; 1 tablespoon bottled reduced-fat balsamic or Italian vinaigrette (one with no more than 2 g of fat per tablespoon; I used Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette); 4 ounces Basic Grilled Chicken (see page 219) or lean store-bought grilled chicken breast, sliced into strips on the diagonal; Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

I think this might be the most guilt-free pizza I eat. Not only are you getting the health benefits of whole wheat from the tortilla, in addition, nutritious salad greens are included, along with plenty of lean protein. If you can’t find the garlic blend, you can use a garlic spread. Just be sure you find one without too much fat. That said, since you’re using only a teaspoon, even one with a bit of fat won’t hurt. Just be sure not to use the leftovers of a more fattening one in bulk in another recipe.
