Shopping Tips
There are several brands of jarred pizza or pasta sauce. I love Prego’s. I used Hormel’s 70% reduced-fat turkey pepperoni. You’ll find it in the luncheon meat section of most supermarkets. It’s so low in calories and fat compared to regular pepperoni. One serving (17 slices) has 70 calories and 4 grams of fat. And it’s gluten-free! Many supermarkets sell packages of thin chicken breasts. I bought mine at Trader Joe’s. Or pound your own by placing each chicken breast between 2 slices of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet or back of a wooden spoon until each breast is thinner.
