Grilled Chicken & Apple Watercress Pita Pizzas

Ingredients

3 links, about 6 ounces, chicken-apple sausages, cut into thin slices
4 cups chopped B&W watercress, divided
8 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
Eight 5 to 6 inch diameter pita breads
9 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
3 sweet red peppers, cut into thin rings

Directions

1.       Prepare a gas grill over medium heat.  Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.  Add sausages.  Cook about 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.  Transfer cooked sausages to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

2.      Mix 2 ½ cups chopped watercress and gorgonzola cheese in medium bowl.

3.      Lightly brush 1 side of each pita bread with 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil.  Grill oiled side down, until bottom is just crisp, about 2 minutes.  Transfer to work surface, grilled side up.  Cover each pita bread with watercress gorgonzola cheese mixture, chicken-apple sausage slices, and several sweet red pepper rings, dividing equally.

4.      Return pita pizzas to gas grill.  Grill covered, until gorgonzola cheese softens, about 2 minutes.  Transfer pit pizzas to serving platter.  Top each with more watercress and serve.  Makes 8 servings.
