Recipe Introduction


This Pizza Creations recipe won Patrice Kavanagh of Easton, Pa., a finalist spot at the last Pillsbury Bake-Off in 2006.


List of Ingredients




13.8-ounce can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust

3/4 cup regular or reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice

4.5-ounce can Old El Paso chopped green chilies, drained

2 cups Progresso red kidney beans, well drained (from 19-ounce can)

1 cup shredded cooked chicken

1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (6 ounces)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, if desired



Recipe



Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease 14-inch pizza pan with shortening, or spray with Crisco No-Stick Cooking Spray. Unroll dough in pan. Starting at center, press out dough to edge of pan.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or just until crust begins to brown around the edge.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice and chilies.

Gently spread mayonnaise mixture over partially baked crust. Top with beans, chicken and cheese. Bake 10 to 14 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
