Pizza Night!

While house sitting, Mr. Tana-Licious and I cooked up a BBQ feat of chicken on the grill, corn on the cob, and some great onion potatoes. As yummy as it all was, we made far too much chicken and ended up with a ton of leftovers... probably about 3 full breasts!

What to do with the yummy BBQ chicken... take it for lunch? Sure. But why not make a BBQ chicken pizza! And so my pizza was born... it was so easy to throw together and tasted great.

Enjoy!

BBQ Chicken Pizza



3 precooked chicken breasts, cubed or shreded
1 ½ C BBQ sauce
1 precooked pizza crust (suggestion: Boboli)
1 ½ C of shredded mozzarella cheese
½ C chopped scallions

Preheat over to 425 degrees.
Spread ½ C of BBQ sauce on pizza crust; set aside.
Toss chicken in remaining 1 C of BBQ sauce.
Pile chicken ontop of pizza crust.
Sprinkle scallions onto chicken & follow with cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.



Tana-Licious’ notes: I used leftover BBQ chicken that we had made on the grill a few nights prior. It worked out really well & you could taste the smokey grill taste too!

Food Bloggin'

So I've decided to start my own food blog. I've been inspired by a few blogs that I've seen on the fabulous world wide web and decided to go for it! This is me going for it... ;)

So last night I made Buffalo Chicken pizza for dinner. Buf Chix is a fav of my dear fiance (hereinafter will be known as Mr. Tana-Licious) so I gave it a whirl. I bleiev I used a Rachel Ray receipe but modified it slightly. What a hit it was! Original receipe called for scallions on top but I omitted those completley... Enjoy loves!


Buffalo Chicken Pizza



3/4 pound chicken breast cutlets (I used 2 half breasts = 1 whole breast)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to season chicken)
1 pizza dough, store bought or from your favorite pizzeria
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce, medium to spicy heat
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, a few generous handfuls
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Preheat grill pan to high.
Place chicken on a plate and drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the chicken then season with s, p, gp. When grill is hot, add chicken and cook about 3 minutes on each side.
Stretch dough to form pizza. If you let it rest and warm up a few minutes it will handle even easier. Set pizza on pizza pan to the side and clean board.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter and stir in Worcestershire, hot sauce, and tomato sauce.Remove the chicken from grill and thinly slice it.
Add chicken to sauce and coat. Cover the pizza dough with the saucy Buffalo chicken, and cheeses. Bake 18-25 minutes or until crisp.
