Ready for our healthy calzone secret?  We bake our calzones up in a whole wheat pita.  Don't worry these are absolutely delicious and you will not be missing that fried dough. 

 

These are super easy to whip up too and will be on the table in under 30 minutes!  We start off by cooking up our chicken in Frank's buffalo sauce (which has ZERO calories) and lots of fresh cilantro.  We then begin to stuff our pitas.  Simply stuff each half with reduced fat mozzarella cheese, buffalo chicken, sautéed spinach and even more cilantro. 

 

Pop these in the oven for 7 minutes, just to crisp up the pita and melt the cheese!

 

YUM.  If you love this one (how could you not) then be sure to try our chicken & broccoli white calzone and our tomato basil calzone as well!
