Chicken and Pizza. Together.

I'm typing this post in the ad-breaks during the end of Ugly Betty and it may go over into Grey's too. Apologies up front for any errors! You guys are really important to me but McSteamy and McVet beat you any day LOL.


So, to tonight's dinner... It was tasty, simple and looked impressive. The whole family dived in so it was deemed a winner in our house!


Chicken Pizzola
from the Ugly Binder




Serves 4

½ cup diced lean ham
½ cup thinly slice button mushrooms (didn’t have any)
½ red capsicum (pepper), seeded and finely diced
1 tomato, diced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (left this out and it didn't suffer any for it)
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon shredded basil
4 chicken breasts, flattened
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup low fat grated mozzarella cheese (I used cheddar)

Place ham, mushrooms, capsicum, tomato, garlic, green onions and basil in medium bowl. Stir to combine

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place chicken breasts on tray. Spread each breast with 1 tablespoon tomato paste. Spoon ham mixture evenly over each fillet. Top with cheese.

Cook Chicken fillets in moderate oven (180˚C) for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked and topping is golden. Serve with salad and crusty bread.

For a second I thought you were really talking about a chicken pizza, which we do at my house quite a bit. This looks really good and tasty. I might just have to try this one night when I have guests over! Congrats on the job.

Thanks, Claire. I'm not a big fan of chicken pizza so I'm actually suprised by how much I like this.

Grey's Anatomy~~my favorite! OK, you mentioned McVet. Just what episode are you watching? Is that what is currently playing in Australia or is it a re-run? I'm so addicted, I watch it online (can't seem to figure out how to tape it) but that's OK cause I also have Season 1 and 2 on DVD. Did I mention this is my absolute favorite show? LOL

Jen we've just started a new season - maybe season 2? Denny is dead, Izzy is cooking muffins and Callie has moved into the house. I have to fight so hard to not look it all up on the fan-sites and find out what is going to happen. I've done it with too many other shows and ruined it for myself LOL.
