Stir-Fried Chicken Pizza

So when you ask your kids what they want for dinner, what they usually say?  "Pizza!"  I have always cringed at that, I really hate feeding my kids pizza.  Not that I don't like pizza, I just know there are better alternatives out there, especially healthier ones.  Well color me surprised when I found a recipe for pizza that was under 500 calories (this is usually my calorie limit for dinner meals)!
So first thing's first!  I preheated the oven at 425 degrees while I prepped everything else.  Then I got one of those refrigerated pizza dough's in the pop can (am I the only one that continues to cringe every time I go to open one of those cans, only to be disappointed when the pop isn't as big as I expect it?), and spread it out on a cookie sheet that I sprayed with some cooking spray.

The recipe actually said to spread it out on a pizza pan.  Seeing as I don't even like to cook pizza for the family, I don't even own a pizza pan so I had to improvise and you can to!  Then I sliced one sweet onion into rings,

diced a sweet red pepper,

sliced up about a cup of mushrooms,

and then minced two garlic cloves.

Once the oven was preheated, I put the pizza dough into it for about 8 minutes.  While that was cooking, I heated 1 tbsp. olive oil in a pan and stir-fried all of the previously chopped veggies for about 5-6 minutes.

And while THAT was cooking, I chopped up the remaining chicken I had from my rotisserie chicken I used in the meal the other night.  The recipe actually called for chicken breasts and to be cooked in the pan once the veggies were done, but I don't like wasting food and I thought that would add a really nice flavor to the meal.  You can always experiment as you wish, as well.

Once the veggies were done, I set those aside while I warmed the chicken.

Once the chicken was warm, I added the veggies back to the mix.  When the pizza dough was done, I layered 3/4 cups of mozzarella cheese on it, and then the chicken and veggies mixture, and then another layer of 3/4 cups mozzarella cheese.

Then I took some fresh basil (my absolute FAVORITE fresh herb) and ripped small pieces over the pizza.

I let that cook for another 7 minutes and voila!  You've got Stir-fried Chicken Pizza.  I was worried with there being no sauce that the pizza would be terrible, but with the sweet pepper and chicken, it really was a delicious meal!

The best part was it was only 382 calories and $3.47 per person!  So the kids got what they wanted but so did I!  Here's the recipe!
