2tablespoonsshredded reduced-fat pepper jack cheese
½cupshredded, cooked chicken breast
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. (I used a toaster oven.) Line a small baking pan with foil and set aside.
Lightly toast the English muffin.
Remove English muffin from the oven and spread 1 tablespoon pesto on each half.
Place each muffin half on the prepared pan. Top each half with shredded chicken and cheese, distributing evenly between the halves. If desired, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, or to desired level of crispiness.
Recipe Notes
Try lightening up this English muffin pizza pie even further by using less pesto sauce. I opted for prepared pesto from Costco which has 5 WW SmartPoints per 2 tablespoon serving. For a lighter, lower calorie option, check out this simple low fat vegan pesto.
If you are not a fan of pesto sauce, substitute your favorite pizza sauce or low sugar barbecue sauce.
If you like your pizza really spicy, you can add a dash, or two, of red pepper sauce when spreading on the pesto.
