Chicken – 1 breast, cooked & shredded

Capsicum – 1/4 cup, chopped

Tomatoes – 1/4 cup, chopped

Onion – 1/4 cup, chopped

Mozzarella cheese – 1/2 cup shredded

Pizza sauce – as needed

Whisked egg – for brushing

CHICKEN PREPARATION:

Chicken breast – 1 small

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Red chili powder – 1/4 tsp

Yogurt – 1 tbsp

Ginger/garlic paste – 1/4 tsp

Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

All spice powder – 1/4 tsp

Coriander powder – 1/4 tsp

Chat masala – 1/4 tsp

Oil – 2 tbsp

(Or you may simple use any ready-made tikka masala powder – 1 tbsp instead of all dry spices)

– Marinate chicken breast in all ingredients and let cook in pan till done. You may add a little water too if requires. Once tender, shred it.

PIZZA SAUCE:

If you don’t desire a store bought sauce then here is how to prepare a perfect one.

Tomatoes – 3

Onion – 1 small, chopped finely

Garlic – 1 clove, minced finely

Salt – 1/2 tsp

Black Pepper – 1/2 tsp

Red chili powder – 1/2 tsp

Lemon juice or vinegar – 1 tbsp

Cumin seeds (ajwain) – 1/2 tsp

Oregano – 1/2 tsp

Oil – 2 tbsp

– Blend tomatoes into fine puree.

– In pan, add oil, saute onion and garlic till soft.

– Add tomato paste and mix.

– Add all other ingredients and let cook for some time. Keep stirring so it doesn’t burn.

– Dry all the excess water till it becomes thick and saucy.

METHOD:

– Take 2 cutters of any shape, one big and one small. If you don’t have any cookie cutters then no worries, find lids of any kitchen jars one bigger and other smaller.

– Cut all 12 slices from big cutter. I have used flower cutter here. Then cut 6 of the pieces with smaller cutter, so you are left with 6 bases and 6 borders.

( You will feel a lot of bread going waste, don’t throw it. I always crush them in food processor and make crumbs out of them. Freeze the crumbs and use them whenever you need for coating.)

– Now place the base pieces on prepared baking tray. Brush the corners with some egg and place borders over them.

– Now fill the inner pockets with one tsp spoon pizza sauce, chicken , veggies and mozzarella cheese. (you may first mix them all together in a bowl so cheese incorporates well.)
