But I Smile Anyway…

Good For You Pizza!

Ok, so last year when I was on my extreme health kick, wanting to lose weight for a wedding we were attending, I chanced upon the Juice Plus+ diet, which involved meal replacement shakes, and capsules, along side balanced meals.

I did really well of the diet, but before I started the main event, we were asked to detox for 2 weeks. It wasn’t as bad as I thought, and to be honest, I started o eat certain different foods, that I wouldn’t have necessarily eaten usually. One of the recipes that I learned, which was YUMMY was this, Chicken pizza, with no gluten!

You need

1 chicken breast per person
Tomato puree
Diced red onion
Mixed diced peppers
Diced Mushrooms
Goats cheese – soft
Dried mixed herbs

To accompany
A peeled sweet potato cut into long chunky strips
A couple of peeled parsnips, cut to similar sizes as the sweet potato
Olive oil
Drizzle of honey
Salt and pepper

Selection of veg to steam, to eat with the meal

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C
2. Butterfly cut the chicken breasts and flatten them out
3. Cover with tomato puree
4. Sprinkle peppers, onions and mushrooms over the top
5. Place on a baking tray in a pre-heated oven at 200*C for 15 minutes
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with goats cheese and mixed herbs
7. Place them back in the oven for 5 minutes

Before preparing the chicken, parboil the sweet potato and parsnips, drain, then spray a tray lightly with olive oil.  Place the parsnips and sweet potato on the tray and drizzle with honey. Stick in the oven then prepare the chicken. they should all be ready about the same time.

Don’t forget to steam you veg!

If you are just eating this as you want to try, and not for any diet controlled reason, add a sauce to compliment it! I love a bit of sweet chilli dipping sauce to it! Or experiment with the toppings.

Its a delicious meal!

Please try, and enjoy!

A variation with sweet potato fries and steamed spinach!
