A new twist on pizza with the use of crescent rolls and African flavors.

Ingredients

2 Pkgs. Crescent Rolls (8 oz each)
1 Medium Sweet Potato or Yam
1 t. Canola Oil
1/2 c. Onion, chopped
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
1 lb. Chicken Tenderloins, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 c. Medium Thick 'n Chunky Salsa, divided
2 t. Chunky Peanut Butter
1/4 c. Water
1/2 t. Ground Cumin
1 pkg.Frozen Spinach (9-10 oz.), defrosted, drained and squeezed of all moisture
2 t. Green Onions, chopped

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Open packages of crescent rolls but do not unroll. Cut each one into 12 slices, making 24 slices. Place slices onto a 12-inch pizza pan. Press slices gently to flatten so that they come together. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Prick sweet potato with a fork and microwave on High for 3-5 minutes, until fork-tender. Remove and cool. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet. Saute onion and garlic for several minutes until translucent. Add chicken tenderloin pieces and saute for several minutes, until no longer pink. Peel sweet potato and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to skillet. In a small bowl, stir 1 C. salsa into peanut butter and add water and cumin. Stir into chicken mixture. Add spinach. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, until thoroughly heated through. Spread on top of baked crescent roll crust. Spoon remaining 1/2 C. salsa over top of pizza. Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Cut into slices.

Makes 8-10 servings.

Cook's Notes

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts may be used instead of tenderloins, if desired.
