Flatbread Pizza for One

1 low carb flour wrap
1/3 cup marinara
1/3 cup reduced fat cheese
1/3 cup browned turkey meat
Onion
Bell pepper
Mushrooms

I put a very thin coat of olive oil on one side of the wrap then sprinkled garlic powder, basil, and Italian seasoning on it and broiled it for about 5 mins until it was brown and crispy, then I flipped it over and put all the toppings on it and put it back in the oven until the cheese has melted.  It was super good, especially if you like a thin crispy crust.

Jamaking Me Crazy Kabobs

4 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1 lg can pineapple chunks
4 bell peppers cut into medium size squares
1 package cherry tomatoes
1 bottle of terriyaki marinade
8 skewers

Marinate chicken, tomatoes, and bell peppers in the marinade for at least 30 mins.  Soak skewers over night in water to prevent burning.  Layer the ingredients on the skewers:  tomato, chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, until all ingredients are used.  Grill over medium heat until chicken is done brushing with marinade a couple of times.  I served with yellow rice and a side salad.

Bacon Wrapped Spinach Stuffed Chicken

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 cloves minced garlic
1 10oz package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
4 slices bacon

Place each chicken breast on a piece of wax paper and pound to out to about ¼ inch thickness.  In a bowl mix mayo, feta, garlic, and spinach.  To get the spinach dry I recommend ringing it out in several paper towels until there is no more water when you squeeze it.  Scoop ¼ of mixture into center of each chicken breast.  Roll up, then wrap with a piece of bacon, secure with toothpicks it necessary.  Bake in shallow baking dish on 375 for 1 hour until juices run clear in chicken, I usually broil for the last 5 minutes to give the bacon a little crunch.
