Frozen bread dough makes a handy crust for this chicken-and-pesto-filled tart.
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce loaf frozen whole wheat or white bread dough, thawed
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
- 1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
- 1 small yellow or green sweet pepper, cut into thin strips (1/2 cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 3 plum tomatoes (Italian style), thinly sliced
- 6 ounces smoked or regular fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
- On a lightly floured surface, roll bread dough into a 10-inch circle. Place in a greased 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing to fit into pan. Prick crust with a fork. Brush with beaten egg. Bake in a 400-degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until brown. Transfer to a wire rack (leave oven on).
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil. Stir-fry chicken, onion, sweet pepper, and lemon-pepper seasoning over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Spread pesto atop the crust. Top with chicken mixture, tomato, and fresh mozzarella.
- Bake in a 400-degree F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Remove from pan; place on a serving platter. Cut into wedges. Makes 6 servings.
