Chicken Fajita Pizza

In a recent post, I told you about making Sausage Sandwiches with the boyfriend.  I hope some of you ran right out and made them, because they're fantastic.

If you did, you probably noticed the same thing that we did - we had lots of peppers and onions left over.

Because I am a frugal New Englander at heart and hate to waste anything (especially food), we used the extra sauteed peppers and onions to make a quick dinner of Chicken Fajita Pizza.

Cooking with left overs is one of my  favorite things to do because it means I get to clean out the fridge and then plan for a week of all new food!

In addition to our left over peppers and onions, we used up half of a chicken breast I had grilled up for a salad earlier in the week, the last of a jar of salsa, and some sliced black olives I had around.

To make the crust of this pizza, we used store bought naan bread that I had in the freezer. They come in packs of two and I had used one previously and frozen the other for future use.

Assembling the pizza was as easy as: 

preheating the oven to 350 degrees, 

lining a cookie sheet with tin foil

placing the naan onto the cookie sheet

spooning on salsa in place of pizza sauce

adding cheese

and topping with chicken, peppers, onions, and black olives

And it was great! We split one naan pizza and it was more than enough for dinner.

I hope this inspires you to use up some of your own left overs to create a pizza this week! One quick tip, if you don't have naan you can use Syrian bread, tortillas, or a wrap in its place and it is just as good. Just be sure to toast the wrap and tortillas first or they don't hold up as well under all of the toppings.

Happy eating!
