Chicken Pizza Pockets
Well I spoke too soon, we've had these before and I thought Curt loved them but he gave it only a three and I give it a five, love this soooooo much! I hope you try it!
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut in 1" pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil-- I used only 1 TBS to save points
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
16 pepperoni slices--I used the turkey pepperoni slices instead and 1 and 1/2 it
1 small green pepper, julienned-- don't know what julienne means so I cut it small
1 small onion, sliced--I'm lazy so I bought the pre-chopped container and used half of it
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 tea oon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella--this is really to taste and we used the reduced fat cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan --this is to taste as well to lower points
In large bowl combine first 11 ingredients. Coat 4 pieces (12" squares) of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place 1/4 of chicken mixture in center of each square. Fold foil over mixture and seal tightly. Cook covered over medium-hot coals for 15-18 minutes. Carefully open and sprinkle with tomatoes and cheese. Grill 2 minutes longer.
So we did tried ours in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then we topped with cheese and tomatoes for another 5 minutes in the oven. That wasn't long enough so I would say 450 degrees for 30 minutes or 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Weight Watchers points for the ingredients I used was about 7 a packet depending on the amount of chicken you use. Chicken breast is about 1 point an ounce so you can easily lower the points that way and totally bulk it up with more veggies you may like. I think this would have one vegetable serving for sure.
Did you ever try this reheated for lunch?? Brian would never eat it, but it sounds good to me! What do you normally serve it with?
ReplyDeleteTracy, I have never had leftovers when we've made it...we either eat it all or we half it when making :)
