1 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 package (6 count) English muffins, split
2 tablespoons soft margarine, divided use
1 1/2 cups bottled pizza sauce, divided use
1 teaspoon oregano
1 large green pepper
4-ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
4-ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 large pitted ripe olives, each sliced into 4 rings

2. With aluminum foil, cover 10 1/2 x 15 1/2-inch baking pan.
3. Spread each muffin half with 1/2 teaspoon margarine and arrange in single layer on prepared pan.
4. Spread heaping tablespoon pizza sauce on each muffin half. Cover generously with ground chicken and onion; sprinkle with oregano.
