Just to show that I’m hearing you (because I’ve read many comments saying you like my recipes, but that they are often either too involved or too fattening and sugary), I’m going to share with you a recipe that is fast, easy, and absolutely one of my favorite dinners. It might even become a weekly meal in That House when we have kids.

Around 10 years ago my parents visited Italy and one of the many things That Mom came home raving about was this new dish called “Italian Pizza”. Now that I have been to Italy, and studied the language and the culture for 3 semesters, I’m not quite sure what kind of place in Italy would serve a dish like this, but it does eliminate the one ingredient on pizza I hate the most (other than grease), and that is tomato sauce. Tomatoes are a recent addition to my list of things I can tolerate, and in certain situations where I will even admit I like them, but I’ve never been a fan of red sauce and so pizza has always been on my list of dislikes (and the grease, makes me sick just thinking about it).

Instead of red sauce, the sauce on this pizza is a kind of murky yellow. It’s chicken gravy!

To make Andersen Italian Pizza you need 4 things:

• Pizza crust (we use Boboli, and I cut the calories this time by using their “thin” crust instead of the regular)
• Chicken gravy mix
• chicken
• Feta cheese

Put the pizza crust in the oven to brown (if you like it crunchy), add some water to a saucepan and make the chicken gravy, shred your chicken, and get your feta ready. Spread the sauce, layer the chicken and cheese, warm it in the oven for a few minutes and done!

We sprinkled avocados and tomatoes on top of our slices.

The nutrition stats below are for 1/4 of the pizza, and include the tomato and avocado in the estimate. Remember that I used the “thin” style crust. It really helped keep the calorie count a lot lower! The feta was also reduced-fat instead of regular. I can’t do the fat free stuff, it’s just gross.

Keep this wonderful, healthy, delicious, easy recipe in mind when I post about the absolutely amazing cinnamon rolls I made on Sunday. When I spend so many hours cooking something delicious, I just can’t help sharing with you, even though I know its drippy sugary appearance will cause you to lean forward and lick your screen.
