Steps

1

Heat oven to 425°F. Line 12-inch round pizza pan with parchment paper.

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until crisp; drain on paper towels. In large bowl, mix bacon, chicken, apples and blue cheese.
3

Unroll pie crust; roll into 12-inch round. Place on pan. Spoon chicken mixture in center of crust to within 2 inches of edge. Fold edge of crust over filling, pleating crust as necessary; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is melted. Cool 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir preserves, chili paste and 1 tablespoon water. Microwave on High 30 to 40 seconds or until thoroughly heated. Drizzle each serving with about 2 tablespoons sauce.
