My wife and I love this pizza! The crisp crust, made from frozen bread dough, is topped with a tasty mixture of sauteed onion, sweet pepper and chicken as well as tomato slices and mozzarella cheese.—Paul Piantek, Middletown, Connecticut
Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion, sliced
1 small sweet yellow pepper, julienned
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup prepared pesto
3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Spread dough into an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Prick dough with a fork. Brush with egg. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. In a large skillet, saute the chicken, onion, yellow pepper and lemon-pepper in oil until chicken is no longer pink; drain.
3. Spread the pesto sauce over the crust. Top with chicken mixture, tomatoes and cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 6 slices.
