Pizza Chicken

Rating: 5 stars

Cost: less than $10

Comments: Holy cow. This. Is. Amazing. I had planned on making a pizza dip this past weekend but never got around to it, so I ended up trying this pizza chicken recipe instead and man was it tasty! It truly gave us the feeling that we were eating a yummy pizza, but obviously much healthier! I also recommend sprinkling some parmesan cheese on it right as you're serving. YUM!

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp dry Italian dressing
3 cloves minced garlic
2 green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced (I didn't feel like chopping an onion so I used a can of sliced olives instead)
1 14oz. jar pizza sauce
2 oz. sliced pepperoni (I used turkey pepperoni for a healthier option)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used low fat)

Directions:
Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and place in a 4-5 quart crock pot. Top with onions, garlic, and bell peppers and pour pasta or pizza sauce over all. Top with pepperoni. Cover crockpot and cook on low 4-6 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Stir well, then sprinkle with cheese and let stand 5 minutes to melt cheese. Serve over hot cooked pasta or rice, or do as we did and eat as a stand alone dish.

Super Easy Chilli

Rating: 5 stars

Cost: less than $15

Comments: This is my hubby's recipe and I love it! Great for football season and cold winter days. I'm not a fan of spicy so this is a very mild chilli but it's delicious and really healthy too. Great with some shredded cheese on top and some tostitos scoops!

Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey (I get the 98% fat free)
2 cans diced tomatoes (I use the kind with basil & oregano already added)
2 green peppers
1 red pepper
1/2 onion
1 package sliced mushrooms
1 packet chilli seasoning (I use mild, but go with medium or spicy if you like it hot!)

Directions:
Dice the peppers and onion. Brown the ground turkey in a pan over medium heat. Drain off liquid and put in crock pot. Sprinkle the chilli seasoning over top. Pour the diced tomatoes over the seasoned turkey. Add in the diced peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
