Spicy Garlic Chicken Pizza

Hi girls. This is what we had last night. It was so yummy and flavorful. The kids didn't like it because it was spicy, and it was just a little bit too much for me, too, but the next time I make it I am going to decrease the amt of crushed red pepper. This is from the Better Homes & Gardens book. I am finding that I have liked almost every recipe I have made from this one...even though they tend to take a little bit longer than some others, I guess it's worth it. So here it is.........

Spicy Garlic Chicken Pizza
12 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts (I just used 2 frozen halves, defrosted. I think it was more than it called for but it still almost didn't seem like enough)
1/2 cup sliced green onions (I didn't have these so I used onion flakes. Still good)
2 cloves garlic, minced (I used garlic from a jar. But I have a garlic press coming from Pampered Chef, so it will be interesting to see if fresh garlic makes a big taste difference)
2 tbsp rice vinegar or white vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (here's what I will reduce to like 1/4 next time)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
16-oz Boboli italian bread shell
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozarella cheese
2 tbsp pine nuts or sliced almonds

Rinse chicken; pat dry w/ paper towels. Cut chicken into 1/2 inch pieces. In mixing bowl, combine half the green onions, the minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, 1 tbsp oil, red pepper, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. In skillet heat other 1 tbsp oil; add chicken pieces. Cook and stir for 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir cornstarch into reserved liquid. Add to skillet. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Spoon evenly over crust on baking sheet (I of course used my large round stone). Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake, uncovered (duh), @ 400 for 12 minutes. Top w/ remaining green onions and the nuts. Return to oven for 2 more minutes. 6 servings.

So like I said, this was good. And, you can get whole-grain Boboli. That's what I did. In my new "low-crap" diet, I am trying to avoid white bread and stuff. So this was actually a pretty healthy meal, too, even though it has lots of cheese, but cheese has calcium. And we need that. Also I didn't measure the cheese, I just sprinkled until it looked right. So I probably used more than it called for but it was good so I don't care. Also the recipe says low-sodium soy sauce, but I don't believe in that. Then you just have to add salt later for it to taste right. These soy sauce people already get the proportions right for us, so I say we should just go with it. Plus sodium is a necessary nutrient. Sometimes we get patients admitted with "hyponatremia" which is low sodium, and they can have cardiac issues, dizziness, etc. So clearly we don't want this to happen to our families. So just use regular soy sauce girls. Talk to you soon!
