Pita Pizzas

Personal pita pizzas are fun to make, and even more fun to eat!

1 C grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced (about 2 small breasts)
1 C broccoli, rinsed, chopped, and cooked
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp fresh basil, rinsed, dried, and chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
4 (6½-inch) whole-wheat pitas

1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 450 ÂșF.
2. For each pizza, spread ¼ cup tomato sauce on a pita and top with ¼ cup chicken, ¼ cup broccoli, ½ tablespoon parmesan cheese, and ¼ tablespoon chopped basil.
3. Place pitas on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for about 5–8 minutes until golden brown and chicken is heated through. Serve immediately.
