Mexican Fiesta Salad Pizza

1/4 cup (50 mL) pitted ripe olives, coarsely chopped
Additional salsa (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange 14 of the triangles in a circle on lightly floured round baking stone with wide ends even with edge of baking stone and points toward the center. Place the remaining two triangles in the center, pinching seams to seal. Roll dough to create a smooth surface. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven; cool completely.
2. In (12-in./30 cm) Skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking turkey into crumbles using Mix 'N Chop; drain if necessary.

Spicy Honey-Glazed Chicken

I made this one last night, and it is easy and yummy, bit kinda spicy. You could use less red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup honey
4 Tbsp. frozen OJ concentrate
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt & pepper
cilantro, chopped
green onions, chopped

Directions:
  1. In a skillet, heat butter in olive oil over medium heat, add chicken, salt, and pepper to taste, and brown for several minutes on each side.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine honey, OJ, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Add honey mix to chicken, then cook for several more minutes, coating the chicken with sauce.
  4. When serving, spoon sauce over chicken, and garnish with cilantro and green onions. Don't skip on the garnish, because it really adds a lot to the taste.

I served it with boiled squash and asparagus.
