INGREDIENT NOTES

CREAM CHEESE

  • Choose the fat-free or lower-fat cream cheese to have the creamy sauce without increasing the points

CHICKEN

  • Here, you will need the cooked and shredded chicken from the skinless and boneless chicken breast as a source of lean protein. Use the rotisserie chicken for the quick work.

CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH

  • Choose the reduced-fat crescent roll dough to keep the base lower in points, but still flaky.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE

  • We replace the full-fat mozzarella cheese with its reduced-fat version to lower the points while providing the same gooey, cheesy texture.

BUFFALO SAUCE

  • Mostly buffalo sauces are naturally low in calories, but still buy from a trusted brand that contains no hidden sugars, like Frank’s RedHot, etc.

GREEK YOGURT

  • It serves as a great alternative to sour cream and provides the same creaminess and tanginess without increasing the points.
