2. Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fennel and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook another 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Place pitas on a baking sheet and top each with an equal portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture; sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Bake until the cheese melts and turns golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fennel tops and serve warm.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Here's an easy, new take on pizza: pita rounds that hold a fennel and chicken saute and that are then baked until the cheesy topping melts. Although great warm, they're just like pizza: a fabulous lunch out of the fridge the next day.

Zig Zag Stitches - January 14, 2008 01:28:53 PM PSTWe adapted the recipe. We sauteed onions and mushrooms and added the chicken. We covered in alfredo sauce and followed the directions on the recipe for cooking time.
My husband said it was the best thing he has ever eaten.

This sounds good
Jenna - August 20, 2007 11:26:43 AM PSTI\'ll have to try this as I\'m a huge fan of Fennel. Only I think I\'ll remove the red pepper and add in Sundried Tomato instead. Will let you all know how it turns out...

Great pizza
Anonyomus - February 20, 2008 04:20:40 PM PSTThis is a really good pizza--the only thing I reccommend to change it is to brush the pitas with EVOO before adding chicken

good idea
Randy - February 4, 2008 01:59:16 PM PSTI like Jenna\'s idea of adding the sundried tomato...but I\'ll keep the red pepper too. All in all, sounds like a really simple but satisfying recipe for a busy work night.
