40th Pillsbury Bake-Off « Contest, 2002

Prep: 35 minutes
Makes: 8 sandwiches, 4 servings

Ingredients:
1 (10 oz.) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Crust
1 (9 oz.) pkg. Green Giant Frozen Spinach
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar (cider, red wine or balsamic)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
3 (4-inch) slices Provolone cheese

Preparation:
Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Unroll dough; place in ungreased
15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Starting at center, press out dough to
edges of pan. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Cool 15
minutes or until completely cooled.

Meanwhile, cook spinach as directed on package. Drain well; squeeze
dry with paper towels.

In small bowl, combine mayonnaise and 1 of the garlic cloves; mix
well. Refrigerate.

Heat oil in small saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion;
cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add sugar and
vinegar. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until most of
the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally.

To flatten each chicken breast half, place, boned side up, between 2
pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently
pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about
1/4-inch thick; remove wrap. Sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning
and minced garlic.

Spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high
heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 8 minutes or until browned,
fork-tender and juices run clear, turning once.

Cut cooled pizza crust into 4 rectangles. Remove rectangles from pan;
spread each with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture. Top 2 rectangles
with chicken, spinach, onion mixture, cheese and remaining crust
rectangles, mayonnaise side down.

Heat large skillet or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until
hot. Place sandwiches in skillet. Place smaller skillet on sandwiches
to flatten slightly. Cook about 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp and
heated, turning once. Cut each warm sandwich into quarters.
