Individual chicken pizzas

This recipe is great during the week because you can buy your chicken already cooked from the grocery store. Also, mix and match your toppings to suit your families taste and everyone can make their own pizza. Usually enough chicken leftover for a second meal too!

Ingredients

1
rotisserie chicken, meat shredded
6

1
6 oz. jar of pesto
2
roma tomatoes, chopped
1
bunch spinach, rinsed and chopped
1/2

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chopped tomatoes on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper, let stand 10 minutes.

Spread pesto onto one side of each pita bread and place on a baking sheet. Top pitas with shredded chicken, tomatoes, spinach and mozzarella cheese; drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Bake until the pitas are crisp and the cheese is melted, about 12 minutes. Top with fresh basil before serving. Cut into quarters.
