Introduction

This is traditionally made with ham, whole milk mozzarella, and basil, but I this variation saves considerably on fat and calories, while still satisfying my craving for cheese. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.

Ingredients

    # Red Ripe Tomatoes, 2 medium whole (2-3/5" dia)
    # Mozzarella Cheese, part skim milk, 2 oz
    # Chicken Breast, no skin, 3 ounces
    # Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
    # Tarragon, ground, 2 tsp
    # Salt, 1 dash
    # Pepper, black, 1 dash

Directions

This makes two servings, but it is easy to scale up or down. You can also change the herbs you use, but I like tarragon with the chicken.

The lack of cooking time assumes that you are using leftover chicken from a roast, or other chicken meal. Otherwise, you could use canned chicken.

Slice the tomatoes thinly, and spread them in the bottom of a flat dish. sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and shredded chicken over the tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil evenly and then add the tarragon, salt, and pepper to taste.

It makes a great light lunch, or have a half portion as an appetizer to a larger meal.
