Grilled Chicken & Vegetable Pizza
Ingredients (2 servings)
1 pre-cooked seasoned chicken breast
1 small zucchini
2 ripe, firm plum tomatoes
1 Spanish onion
Generous pinches of salt, pepper, dried basil and oregano
3 tbls extra virgin olive oil
1 large or 2 small Greek-style flat pitas (or pitas of your choice)
½ cup (125ml) goat cheese or crumbled feta
Directions
1. Lightly oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Cut chicken into pieces as desired. Thickly slice tomatoes. Cut Spanish onion to desired thickness. Cut zucchini diagonally into long ovals. Place in a large bowl. Drizzle with just enough olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with seasonings. Stir to evenly coat toppings. Brush bread with olive oil.
2. Place vegetables on grill and barbecue until tender and lightly charred, 2 to 5 min per side, removing them as they are done.
3. Then, place bread on grill and barbecue with lid closed, just until grill marks form, about 1 to 2 min per side. Crumble goat cheese over hot bread, then arrange tomatoes, chicken and zucchini on top. Scatter onions overtop. Add a little goat cheese on top if desired and voila!
