Chicken Pizza Masks

1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 english muffins -- split
1 1/2 cups prepared pizza sauce
1 large green or red bell pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can sliced black olives (2 1/4 oz) -- drained

Heat large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, onion, salt, oregano and black pepper. Cook and stir about 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink; set aside. Cover 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch baking pan with foil. Arrange muffins in single layer on prepared pan.

Spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce on each muffin half. Cover generously with chicken mixture, dividing evenly.

Cut 12 sliver bell peppers into "smiling" mouth shapes; set aside. Chop remaining bell pepper; sprinkle over mini-pizzas. Combine Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in small bowl; sprinkle generously over mini-pizzas.

Bake at 450ºF 12 minutes or until cheese is light brown. Make face on each pizza by using 2 olive slices for "eyes" and 1 pepper shape for "mouth".

Makes 12 mini-pizzas.
