The original recipe was a bit bland so I add italian seasoning to the pizza sauce. Keep the pizza dough cold until you use it or it is difficult to work with. Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 lb ground chicken breast |
3/4 cup pizza sauce |
italian seasoning, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped |
13 7/8 ounces of refrigerated pizza dough |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Add garlic and chicken to pan and saute for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
3. Stir in pizza sauce, italian seasoning, and red pepper. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Let sit for 10 minute.
4. Unroll pizza dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut into quarters and pat each into an 8x6 rectangle. Divide chicken mixture evenly onto the rectangles and sprinkle with 2 tbsp of cheese on each.
5. Fold each rectangle in half over the chicken and pinch the edges to seal.
6. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
