Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • 3/4 cup prepared pizza sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil I used fresh and dried since I didn't have enough fresh
  • 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425°.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add garlic and chicken to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, stirring to crumble. Stir in pizza sauce and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in basil. Let stand 10 minutes.

3. Unroll dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; cut dough into quarters. Pat each portion into an 8 x 6–inch rectangle. Divide chicken mixture evenly among rectangles; top each serving with 2 tablespoons cheese. Working with one rectangle at a time, fold dough in half over filling, pinching edges to seal. Repeat procedure with remaining rectangles. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until golden.
