If you want to make a healthier pizza at home, Recipe Rehab dietitians Karen Weber, Pat Streicher and Ellen Illig slimmed down this chicken pizza last year, cutting the fat from 33 grams to 12 grams per serving.
Gourmet Chicken Pizza
1 10-ounce can refrigerated pizza crust dough
1/2 cup low-fat (2 grams per serving) Ranch dressing, such as Wish-Bone Just 2 Good
1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded low-fat (6 grams per ounce) cheddar cheese
1 cup seeded, chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions with tops
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cooked and diced
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray 12-inch pizza pan or 8-by-12-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Unroll dough and press into prepared pan. Bake crust in 425-degree oven for 7 minutes or until it begins to turn golden brown. Remove from oven.
Spread dressing over partially baked crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, green onion, chicken and cheddar cheese. Return to oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Makes 5 servings.
