CHICKEN PIZZA

1 boneless chicken breast, about 5 1/2 ounces

Dash Italian seasoning

Dash garlic powder

Dash salt

Toppings:

1 tablespoon pizza sauce

1/2 ounce pepperoni, 8 thin slices

1/2 large fresh mushroom, sliced thin, 1/2 ounce

1 ounce Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled

1 ounce mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons green pepper, minced, 1/2 ounce

1 tablespoon red onion, minced, 1/4 ounce

Pound the chicken as thin as possible without tearing it. Season both sides of the chicken with the seasonings and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce on the top of the chicken. Arrange the remaining topping ingredients in this order: pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, cheese, peppers and then the onions. Lightly sprinkle with a little more Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Bake at 400º 10 minutes. Do not overcook.

This is very similiar to my Pizza Chicken but with this recipe the chicken acts more like a pizza crust. By pounding it very thin, I got a lot more surface area to cover with yummy pizza toppings. Since the baking time is very short, the peppers and onions stay a little bit crunchy. That's why it's important to mince them fine or they'll be a little too crisp after baking. And yes, the chicken will be cooked through in just 10 minutes. The Pizza Chicken is a bit more elegant looking but I think that this version gives you more pizza flavor in every bite. The arrangement of the toppings is such that it helps keep everything in place. If you can afford an additional carb, go ahead and add another ounce of cheese. I used just enough to hold the toppings in place but who doesn't like even more cheesy goodness? Click the photo to see a close-up.

This looks good... I can't wait to be able to make one.. I think this about a month or two away for me though right now:)

What a great idea! Can't wait to try it!:thumbup:

wow that looks yummy!

It looks delicious but when you are at your sweet spot you probably cant even eat a half of that...a good thing considering the fat grams are pretty high...good protein though!

Save! Thanks! Sounds good

Oh whoa. That looks amazingggg. It's a little high in calories for me though. I might give it a try when my fill isn't so much and I wanna splurge.

I tried the chicken pizza. Great idea. But mine was definitely not done after 10 minutes. I guess I didn't flatten as much as the OP did. I've read other recipes that suggest cooking the flattened chicken a little before you put the toppings on then cooking it all some more. I will try that way next time.

I just made this tonight, it came out really well, I didn't eat it though since I just got my band filled, but my mom and nephew loved ittt! Thanks for sharing!

Here's how I cook it...

Ingredients:• 450 gm Boneless chicken Breast

• 1 pizza frozen dough

• 4 tsp Pepper

• 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)

• 1 Vegetable Cooking Spray

• 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 tsp Thyme

• 1 tbsp Olive oil

• 1 Garlic Clove (minced)

• 2 cups Purple Onions (sliced)

• 1 cup Red bell pepper

• 1/4 tsp Salt

How to make Chicken Pizza: •Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. •Add chicken, salt, pepper and garlic and heat it for few minutes. •Add onions, bell pepper, mushrooms and thyme. •Saute for few minutes into the chicken mixture, until chicken is cooked. Keep it aside. •Unroll pizza dough and pat into a 12-inch pizza pan coated with cooking vegetable spray. •Splash half cup cheese evenly over the dough. •Spread chicken mixture over the cheese and top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. •Bake at 425 degree F for 15 minutes or until crust is golden.

I tweaked the recipe some, and used the same basic idea, but used buffalo sauce instead of tomato sauce, and topped with a little bit of provolone cheese. Baked at the same time and temp, and my family loves it too. Yummmy

Looks yummy!! Thanks for sharing
