RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Chicken, Tomato & Zucchini Pizza

lunch or dinner serves 4

4 small wholemeal pita breads

1/3 of a cup of tomato paste

2 tteaspoons of dried Greek origano

2 ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced (or sml 2 med size tub of semi /sun dried tomatoes)

2 Zucchini thinly sliced lengthways

400 g cooked skinless chicken breast ...sliced

100 g of Low Fat Fetta & or Low Fat Mozzarella

1 & 1/3 cps of Rocket

1 Tbl spn of Olive Oil

a pich of pepper (optional)

Pre heat oven to 200'C (390'F) about 180 for Fan forced ovens

Spread pita breads with tomato paste and sprinkle with oregano

Optional >> to help the ingredients stick to the pita breads better, you may want to sprinkle a little Low Fat Mozzarella on top of the tomato paste.

Divide the tomato and zucchini between the 4 pita breads

Tip>> if using fresh tomatoes- the juices from the tomato can make the pita breads go soggy...So once you have sliced your tomatoes place the slices on some bread for a few minutes before placing the tomato slices on your pita breads. ;)

Add a layer of sliced chicken and crumbled fetta and or a little mozzarella over the top (again the Mozzarella helps keep the ingredients on the pita bread binding it all together)

Bake for approximately 10 mins (if you have an oven that has a top element in it like a grill, allow that to operate for approximately 5 mins at the same time...or....Place the pizza under under the griller part of your oven/stove separately after the 10 mins in the oven, just to brown the top)

Serve topped with rocket leaves and a drizzle of olive oil optional.

There are no rules in terms of ingredients when making Healthy Pizzas.

Try adding a little Capsicum thinly sliced .....
