[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Chicken Pizza in Puff Pastry - Saudi Buraik TNT

This was really easy. I substituted 1/2 cup caramelized onions for the cheddar, and 3/4 cup barbecue sauce for the pasta sauce. I only used 4 chicken breasts, and added 6 slices of cooked turkey bacon. It made a terrific barbecue chicken pie as well as the pizza version.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5                     boneless skinless chicken breasts
     3/4           cup chunky garden pasta sauce
     1/2           cup mozzarella cheese -- shredded
     1/2           cup cheddar cheese -- shredded
1              pound puff pastry
1           teaspoon salt
1           teaspoon pepper
1                     egg yolk -- beaten

Allow puff pastry to defrost at room temperature for at least 2-1/2 hours.
When defrosted divide into two half's. Cover with a towel until needed. In
a medium saucepan on medium heat add chicken breast, cover with water and
allow to cook, about 20 minutes or until done. Drain water then shred
chicken.

In a sauté pan on medium heat, add chicken, pasta sauce, salt and pepper.
Mix well, allow to cook 5 minutes.

Roll each dough into a thin circle, a
circle that will cover a 9 inch pie pan. Lightly butter pie pan bottom and
sides. Add one circle of pastry into the pan, covering. Carefully prick
dough with a fork.

Add chicken mix, and then sprinkle cheese. Add second
pastry circle on top, covering meat. With fingers, press edges of each
circle together, to form slight mound. With a pastry brush, carefully
brush egg yolk all over pastry. Make small slit in top middle of Buraik.
In a pre-heated 350 F oven bake Buraik 25-30 minutes, until top is golden.

Yields: 6 servings

AuthorNote: Buraik is a popular Arabic recipe. I have known two versions
of Buraik, one being ground beef, eggs, and the other bananas and cream,
which is a dessert Buraik. Its fun to make old classics have new twist.
This version is so tasty you will have everyone begging you to make it
again.
