Pizza on a Chicken

Pizza on a Chicken


Hey Guys!!  Yes I'm still doing Wheat Free and I'm still losing weight!!  So today I tried Pizza on a Chicken and it was so DELICIOUS, I need to tell you about it!

1 chicken breast
1/4 cup pizza sauce (jar) I used Prego
1/4 cup black beans - or any topping you like - or maybe you just like cheese.
2% Mozzarella Cheese
salt, pepper and oregano to taste

Put the raw chicken breast between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound it flat.  This is an excellent exercise if you have had a hard day at work.

Once the chicken is flat, add salt and pepper to your crust.  I also sprayed mine with a little non stick cooking spray, and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until it is just done.

Remove the chicken from the oven, flip it over so you have a flat surface to work with, and cover with pizza sauce.  Ok here you can add your own toppings.  I suggest going crazy but that's up to you.  Today I went crazy by using black beans and it was Oh My God so delicious.  So you add your favorite topping(s) and then cover the whole thing with cheese and a little oregano.

Bake at 350 for about 15 more minutes until the cheese is melted and it looks like pizza.  Enjoy!

This, my friends, is the most delicious, and HEALTHY pizza you will ever put in your mouth!!  Thank you for taking the time to visit with me today.  Please leave me a comment.  I love hearing from you!!

Black Bean and Mushroom Casserole

Black Bean & Mushroom Casserole


You guessed it - this is not a story review.  But this is my blog and I dig this and I thought you might dig it too.

As most of you know - my doctor told me to eliminate wheat from my diet.  I have a couple of conditions that require me to stay really healthy and she felt like wheat elimination was something that would lower my blood pressure, lower my blood sugar, help me with fluid retention, and boost my weight loss.  That's some really delicious discussion right before you read my recipe, but I wanted to give you a why...

Now - when you LOVE PASTA and also LOVE BREAD, cutting wheat is quite difficult.  She told me "eat whole foods" witch I have found to be pretty easy but the pasta - I really miss pasta.  I LOVE SPAGHETTI SAUCE!!  Before she told me to cut it out I ate pasta everyday.  Finding something to substitute for pasta is not all that easy.  You can have the sauce and not the pasta, you can have the peanut butter but you can't make a sandwich.

So I am making stuff up in my kitchen and I thought you might like to hear about it every now and then.  I have created Black Bean and Mushroom Casserole.  Maybe this is yucky to you (I don't know) but it's DELICIOUS to me and it has no pasta and very little calories so I think it's PERFECT!!

Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 can black beans
1 can mushrooms
1 - 2 cups Prego Fresh Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce
1-2 cups cheese (whatever kind you like - try to use 2% because you just don't need the calories).

Spray a small casserole dish with the nonstick cooking spray.  Drain the black beans in a colander and rinse them well.  Mix the beans and the spaghetti sauce in a bowl.  You want the mixture to be thick - but soupy enough to make it casserole consistency. I love the sauce so I put a lot in there.  

Drain the mushrooms and layer them in the bottom of the casserole dish.  Layer the bean mixture on top of the mushrooms.  Cover the top with cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes - until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melty.

To me this can be eaten as a main dish with a salad and it is sooooo delicious!!  You could also serve it as a side dish for chicken or I think you could serve it over pasta too.
