Cook Time: 15 min
Serves: 4

You don’t have to travel to Tuscany to enjoy this delicious pizza, but the combination of thyme, honey and prosciutto will have you feeling like you’re there.

Ingredients

1 cup (250 mL) Italian-style tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 onion, small, chopped
3 sprigs thyme, chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) honey
10 strips cooked chicken, size of your little finger
10 slices prosciutto
2 cups (500 mL) mozzarella cheese, grated
1 pizza crust
8-10 leaves arugula (rocket), stems removed and washed

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
2 In a small frying pan, cook the tomatoes, onion, thyme and honey over medium-high heat for 7 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
3 Wrap prosciutto slices around the chicken strips.
4 Place prosciutto-wrapped chicken strips on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
5 Spread a generous amount of the tomato sauce on the pizza crust and add shredded mozzarella. Place prosciutto-wrapped chicken strips in a sunburst pattern on the cheese.
6 Bake in oven for about 10 minutes or until crust is cooked and cheese is melted.
7 Remove from oven. Add arugula between the chicken strips and serve immediately with a spinach and blackberry salad with balsamic glaze.
