As I said on Monday, I am in NYC for work and love indulging in a good slice of NYC pizza.  But, I try not to treat myself until work is over.  I’m not saying today’s recipe is a replacement for NYC pizza, but it held me over until I got here.  I saw this idea on the Rachael Ray Show and have made many varieties since.  Simply pound a chicken breast and layer it with your choice of toppings.  Follow the recipe below for my healthy chicken pizza.

 

2 Chicken Breasts

1 Container of Cherry Tomatoes

Arugula

Feta Cheese

EVOO

Salt, Pepper, Italian Spices

Lay your chicken in between a sheet of plastic wrap

Pound the chicken until 1/2 inch thick.  While pounding, first pound the chicken in the middle, then continue your movement to the outer rim of the chicken in one fluid motion.  This will ensure that the chicken breast is the same thickness.

 Season with spices on both sides

Over a medium high heat, add EVOO then tomatoes

Cover until tomatoes begin to burst  

Once tomatoes burst, smash

Remove tomatoes, add a drizzle of EVOO, then add chicken 

Brown chicken on both sides  

 Once brown, top with smashed tomatoes 

Top with Arugula 

 Sprinkle with cheese

Serve once cheese is slightly melted

Serve over a bed of arugula 

Now, I am going to go and enjoy a real slice of NYC pizza!  Yum!

Stay hungry…
