So, I am pretty excited about this first post! This is an original semi-homemade recipe (No better way to start) that blends so many of my favorite ingredients; chicken, bacon, bbq sauce, red onions, and..... Pizza of course! In addition, as I mentioned it has bacon, and bacon makes everything better.
At this site, I'll share with you a little bit about each dish, the recipe, as well as photos, videos, or links about the food. As you will soon see, I love simple, yummy food. If you are into fancy gourmet, this is not the place for you. Lastly, I will bring you along with me to experience other great places and food!
I first made this dish for my family about a year ago. It's actually an interesting story how I stumbled upon the idea for this version of a bbq chicken pizza. I looooove, love, love pizza AND bbq. But until now, I never liked the idea of eating bbq chicken on a pizza. One day, however, I was watching Food Network and saw tv chef Sandra Lee cook an amazing-looking one with refrigerated pizza dough. Well I guess it looked so good to me that I made one myself, just using the ingredients I thought would be good, as I did not have her recipe nor her ingredients on hand. Turns out, it was one of the best pizzas I ever had (and I've eaten a WHOLE LOTTA pizza!). The combination of cheeses went perfectly with the tang of the bbq sauce. The red onion was sweet and a great addition, while the bacon topped it off. It's so yummy I still havn't ordered one from a pizzeria. Whenever I crave bbq chicken and pizza, oh! and bacon... I just zip home and throw this delicious pizza in the oven.
