Chicken leftovers pizza

Chicken leftovers pizza

I had some leftover roast chicken and some leftover homemade pizza sauce.  So it seemed like fate was calling me to make a pizza. 

I used flat bread for the pizza base.  Sometimes I use pita or Lebanese bread.  I find it crisps up better than bought pizza bases and am not confident enough to make my own pizza dough – although I now have some super recipes thanks to Food on Friday: Pizza.

So I cranked my oven up real high with my baking sheet in it.  When it was almost at temperature, I got out the frozen flat bread and brushed one side with olive oil and turned it over onto baking paper.

I then smeared it generously with my pizza sauce.  I sprinkled a mixture of grated Egmont cheese and parmesan onto it. (Egmont is a specialty type of Colby).

Pizza just before going in to oven

On top I put the chunks of leftover chicken white meat, some chopped capsicum (bell pepper) and a good season with salt and pepper.

Fifteen minutes in the oven or until bubbling and golden. I then finished off the pizza with a bit of chopped dill and coriander leaves (cilantro) and drizzled a few drops of sweet chilli sauce on – which as you can see I forgot to do until after the pizza had been cut. Yum.
