Spicy chicken pizzettes



Ingredients (serves 4)
2 teaspoons olive oil
350g chicken breast mince
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons Middle Eastern spice blend (see note)
3 green onions, sliced
1 red capsicum, deseeded, sliced
125g cherry tomatoes, halved
2 x 225g pkts 97% fat-free pizza bases
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup coriander leaves
lemon wedges, to serve
Method
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mince and garlic. Cook, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes or until light golden. Add spice blend, green onions and capsicum. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 220°C. Place pizza bases on 2 baking trays and spread with barbecue sauce. Top with chicken mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, swapping trays after 6 minutes, or until bases are crisp. Top with coriander and serve with lemon.
Notes & tips
Middle Eastern spice blend is an aromatic mix of cumin, garlic, turmeric and coriander. Look for it in the spice aisle of your supermarket.
Spicy chicken pizzettes are delicious topped with mint yoghurt. Combine 1 cup yoghurt, 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper. Spoon over pizzas just before serving.
