Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pita Pizzas:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
4. Prepare Pita Base: Place the pita breads on a baking sheet. Brush each with the remaining olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.
5. Layer Ingredients: Evenly distribute the spinach and cooked chicken mixture onto each pita bread. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish: Once out of the oven, garnish the pizzas with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
8. Slice and Serve: Allow to cool for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve while warm.
