Chicken Parm Pizza

This bad boy was born after I had some leftover, bread chicken cutlets in the fridge from dinner the night before. Not wanting to make chicken Parm with pasta or a sandwhich, the lightbulb when off in my head (yes, this sometimes happends) and I came up with this use for leftovers.

Grocery List:
Pizza dough (if you are feeling frisky, make your own, I, however, used store bought dough aka Pillsbury pizza dough in a tube that I doctor up)
Leftover, breaded chicken
Sauce (again, if you are feeling frisky, make your own, I just used jarred stuff, because, well, that's what I had on hand)
Fresh mozzerella cheese (shredded will do the trick)
Fresh basil
EVOO
S and P
Italian seasoning


The Low Down:
Unroll the dough onto a pizza stone sprayed with cooking spray (a sheet try will work just fine). Spread it out so it's an even thickness. If it tears, don't freak out, just mush it back together.

Sprinkle on on S and P, Italian seasoning and some EVOO.

Bake it on 425 for 10 minutes.

While the crust prebakes and gets brown, chop up your leftover breaded chicken.

When the crust has browned slighlty, spread a thin layer of sauce, pile on the chicken and spread it out so every bite gets some, top it with the cheese and sprinkle on the basil.

Return it to the oven for another 10-12 minutes so the cheese melts and the rest of the ingredients get warm.

Enjoy!
