Ingredients
  

4 mini whole wheat pitas

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Olive oil for drizzling

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices for maximum flavor.

      Assemble the Pizzas: Arrange the mini pitas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, spread approximately 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on each pita, ensuring to leave a small border around the edges to contain the toppings.

        Add Chicken and Veggies: Evenly distribute the seasoned shredded chicken over each sauced pita. Follow this by sprinkling the diced bell peppers and thinly sliced red onion on top of the chicken, ensuring an even distribution of colors and flavors.

          Add Cheese: Generously cover each pizza with a heap of shredded mozzarella cheese. If you enjoy a bit of heat, now's the time to sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the cheese.

            Drizzle and Bake: Drizzle a light coating of olive oil over each mini pizza, which will help them crisp up beautifully. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and slightly golden, while the edges of the pitas turn a delicious golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool for about a minute on the baking sheet. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant finishing touch. Slice into wedges and serve hot, enjoying an easy and delightful meal!

                  Presentation Tips: Serve the mini pizzas on a large platter, and consider using a variety of colored bell peppers to make the dish visually appealing. Add a small bowl of extra marinara sauce for dipping on the side!
