Really healthy recipe that tastes like it isn't!!! This is actually a variation of someone else's on this site. I'm on a diet where i'm trying to eat higher protein meals regularly throughout the day and this is perfect for an after work dinner that will be satisfying without breaking any rules. A portion of 1/6 of the pan, which is very satisfying, only has about 415 calories and packs 30 grams of protein!!
