ReciMeals are designed to be complete meals that need only be accompanied by a beverage, and sometimes a side salad or slice of bread. A ReciMeal provides significant amounts of at least three of the five MyPyramid food groups: about 1/2 cup of fruits, 1/2 cup of vegetables, 1 ounce equivalent of grain foods, 2 ounces or the equivalent of lean meat or beans or 1 cup or the equivalent of milk per recipe serving. Aromatic basil pesto makes a perfect flavor partner for chicken, delicately browned with onion and garlic. Lean, yet protein-rich, canned chicken is a versatile and convenient ingredient to keep on your pantry shelf for all kinds of quick-to-fix meals.
Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Preparation:
Heat oven to 400°F. In a medium, non-stick skillet, brown chicken with onion and garlic in olive oil. Remove from heat; blend with 2 tablespoons pesto sauce; set aside. Lightly coat a 9x12-inch baking sheet or a 14-inch pizza stone with vegetable oil spray. Press or roll dough onto the baking sheet or the pizza stone, to desired thickness. Spread remaining 2 tablespoons pesto sauce over dough, leaving a 1-inch edge. Arrange chicken mixture, asparagus and roasted red peppers on top. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheeses melt and crust is lightly browned.
