Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch kale, stems removed and discarded
4 cloves garlic
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
8 whole wheat English muffins, split
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced
1 cup sliced fresh mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook kale and garlic in the boiling water until kale is softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse kale and garlic under cold water, reserving the boiling water.
  • Blend kale, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and about 1 tablespoon of the boiling water in a blender until smooth; add more water as needed to thin the pesto.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon pesto onto each English muffin half; sprinkle with chicken and top with mozzarella cheese. Arrange pizzas on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
