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

4 serv.
  • garlic cloves, minced2
  • lb ground chicken breast1
  • cup pizza sauce3⁄4
  • italian seasoning, to taste
  • teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes1⁄4
  • cup fresh basil, chopped1⁄4
  • ounces of refrigerated pizza dough13 7⁄8
  • cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese1⁄2

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Fold each rectangle in half over the chicken and pinch the edges to seal.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
