Categories: Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts
  • 4 Piadinas (flat bread or thin pizza crust)
  • 1 tbsp basil pesto
  • 1/4 cup each Asiago, Fontina, and Mozzarella, shredded
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp Olive Garden's Signature Italian dressing
  • 1/4 cup each of Romano and Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp sundried tomatoes, packed in olive oil and drained
  • 1/4 cup of each smoked mozzarella and smoked provolone, shredded
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Pepper and salt, to taste

Directions

  1. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the coated chicken pieces in the middle. Cook thoroughly on each side for 5 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, cut the chicken pieces into small pieces.

  3. Now, heat the olive oil in a separate medium-sized saute pan; once hot, saute the spinach until tender, for a couple minutes.

  4. Melt the mozzarella with Asiago, Fontina and half of the Parmesan in a sauce pot over low heat. To help keeping the smooth consistency, feel free to add a small amount of milk. Add in the sun-dried tomatoes, Italian dressing and pesto.

  5. Spread the melted cheese mixture over one half of each Piadina.

  6. Top with 1/4 of the sauteed spinach and 1/4 of the grilled chicken.

  7. Spinkle smoked mozzarella, Romano, Parmesan, leftover Parmesan and smoked provolone over the spinach and chicken.

  8. Heat a small amount of olive oil over moderate heat in a large saute pan.

  9. Fold the Piadina in half and then carefully place into the middle of pan.

  10. Cook until golden brown on each side or for 2 to 3 minutes.

  11. Remove the pan from heat and cut into 4 to 6 triangular pieces. Serve the cooked Piadina with some dipping sauce.

  12. Enjoy.
