faux chicken pizza!

Fake chicken! Yes, it may sound creepy and there are a good number of really bad "faux" meats out there. But one brand that I use often is Quorn. It's tasty and easy to cook. The only drawbacks are, of course, the price ($4.50-$5.99 for the cutlets) and the whole shaped like a piece of chicken thing. I don't mind this personally but I know there are people out there who detest fake meat shaped like what it's supposed to be. It's weird!

I make pizza almost every week and this was a bit of an experiment. I was nervous that after cooking the cutlets and adding them to the pizza they would dry out. You can spare yourself from dried up "chicken" by brushing it with olive oil before it cooks and again before adding it to the pizza.

Ingredients:
1 can Pastene pizza sauce
1 12-inch pizza crust (i just buy the bags of dough from the supermarket)
1/2 cup flour
2 tomatoes
2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
2 cups chopped onion
2 Quorn Naked Chik'n Culets (cooked and sliced)
1/2 package (6 ounce) of mozzarella cheese
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tbsp olive oil





What to do:
Start with the dough. Stretch it out however you prefer. Then add a coat of olive oil and the sauce. Then add the garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, chicken, and top with cheese. You can season and salt it to taste (I use a dash of Italian seasoning and garlic salt for taste).

Bake at 400 degrees on a pizza stone or pan for about 20-25 minutes until it's crispy. Yum!
