Ingredients

See recipe for serves 4 here

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 x 60 g wholemeal Lebanese breads
  • 2 tablespoons no added salt tomato paste
  • 150 g shredded, cooked, skinless chicken breast
  • 110 g (½ x 220 g tub) bocconcini, torn into pieces
  • ½ cup (15 g) fresh basil leaves

Method

Step 1

Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft and light golden.

Step 2

Add garlic and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until tomatoes have softened slightly. Stir in vinegar. Bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.

Step 3

Place breads on baking trays and spread with tomato paste. Top evenly with tomato and onion mixture, chicken and bocconcini. Season with freshly ground pepper.

Step 4

Bake in a preheated 220 °C oven (fan-forced) for 10-12 minutes, until bread is crisp and topping is lightly browned.

Step 5

Scatter basil over pizzas to serve.

Tips

  • Check labels on Lebanese bread and choose the brand lowest in sodium.
  • Shredded, cooked, skinless chicken breast is available from the deli counter in supermarkets. Alternatively, substitute leftover skinless, roast chicken
