Ingredients
4 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (11 ounces)
1 jar low sodium pizza or spaghetti sauce (24 ounces)
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1 cup low fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tube refrigerated pizza dough, cut into strips
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange frozen PERDUE® Panko Chicken Nuggets in a single layer and bake on the middle oven rack for 11–13 minutes, turning halfway through, until heated through. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add pizza sauce and dried Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove skillet from heat and gently stir in the cooked PERDUE® Panko Chicken Nuggets. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken mixture. Arrange pizza dough strips in a crisscross pattern over the top. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the pizza dough is golden brown and cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
