Simple ingredients:
- 2 packages of pizza dough mix (I bought from Walmart for 50 cent each)*
- 3-4 pieces cooked chicken tenders ( I bought from Walmart after 9 pm for 50% off)
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, optional)
- 1 jar pizza sauce (only use as you need)
- 1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- Prepare the pizza dough as the directions on the package (only need 1 cup of hot water for each bag).
- Cut the chicken tender stripes into small pieces. Mix chicken, spinach and pizza sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray non-stick cooking oil over two muffin pans.
- Divide dough in four pieces. Roll each small dough into a large rectangle roughly 1/4 inch in thickness.
- Spread chicken mix and cheese evenly across each piece of rolled out dough. Starting from long side of dough, begin rolling the dough up like a cinnamon roll. Pinch ends when done. Slice into 1 1/2 to 2 inch rolls. Place in muffin tins. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on the top of each pizza cupcakes.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and dough is lightly browned. Serve hot!
Variations:
You may also use other your favorite sauces to make Buffalo chicken cupcakes, Ranch chicken cupcakes, honey mustard chicken cupcakes, or teriyaki chicken cupcakes...they are endless...also may use other kinds of meat, too, such as sausages, peperoni, ground beef, etc. If you use raw meat, be sure to cook them first before putting them together.
