Pizza-Flavored Chicken Burger

3/4 pound ground chicken breast meat only

1/2 cup bottled pizza sauce, divided use

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil spray

2 slices part skim milk mozzarella cheese, about 1 ounce total

6 pitted black olives, sliced

2 whole wheat or whole grain hamburger rolls

Several basil leaves

Mix chicken with 2 tablespoons pizza sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Shape into two burgers about 4-inches in diameter and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil spray and saute burgers 5 minutes. Turn and saute 3 minutes. Place a cheese slice over each burger. Cover with a lid and cook 2 to 3 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 165 degrees. Place burgers on bottom half of each roll. Mix olives into remaining pizza sauce and spoon over the burgers. Place several basil leaves over the sauce. Close with top of the roll.
