Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add chopped chicken sausage, kale, and onion. Cook and stir until sausage is lightly browned and veggies have softened, 6 - 8 minutes.

Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, and salt. Mix well.

Roll out dough into a large rectangle of even thickness, at least 12" X 9". Evenly cut dough into 12 squares. Place each square in a muffin cup, and press it into the bottom and up along the sides.

Evenly distribute mixture among the cups, and firmly pack it in. Top with pizza sauce and Parm-style topping.

Bake until dough is firm and lightly browned and filling is hot, 16 - 18 minutes.
