On An Updated Recipe

In which we briefly revisit a previously posted recipe and a request for input is made.

So in the past I posted about making pizza in the Roses' mud oven, the other night we had another 'make your own pizza' extravaganza, this time sans mud oven.  So I thought it would be a good time to work on my barbecue chicken pizza recipe.  It didn't change a whole lot, but it is certainly a little simpler to make.

Backyard BBQ Chicken Pizza

• One can of all white meat chicken
• 1/2 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce (original)
• 1/2 white onion
• 1 jar banana peppers (hot)
• 4-5 sliced Oscar Myer pre-cooked bacon
• 1/4-1/2 orange or red pepper
• Pizza crust (x2)
• Shredded cheese (your choice)

Start by slicing the onions thin and cutting them into strips, place in a bowl and set aside.  Measure out approximately 1/4 cup of the banana peppers (no juice) and slice into small strips, add to bowl with onions.  Coat pan with extra virgin olive oil and heat to medium+ (that's about 6/10 on our stove), toss onion and pepper mixture into pan, spreading them evenly around.  While the veggies are sautéing slice your precooked bacon widthwise into small pieces, add to pan with veggies.  Make sure you are stirring the veggie and bacon mixture so that you don't burn them.  Open can of chicken and drain.  Cut or shred bigger pieces of chicken and add to pan, allow chicken to heat and mix with the veggies and bacon some.  Add approximately half the bottle of BBQ sauce to the pan and heat mixture, stirring occasionally for about 15-20 minutes.  Pre-heat oven to 375-400.

Spread half of mixture onto your pizza crust; sprinkle a few (2-3) handfuls of cheese on top.  Place banana peppers and red/orange pepper slices on the pizza then cover with another couple of handfuls of cheese.  Place pizza, or pizzas this recipe makes enough for two, into the oven for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is starting to brown just a little (just keep you eye on it).

Remove pizza, slice, and enjoy.  (Let it cool down first if you are the litigious type.)

Special announcement!

Back in October I wrote about a bunch of random things, this came about after eating a Subway sandwich and reading about balloon boy¹.  That was probably the most enjoyable blogging experience I've had yet and I thought that it would be fun to try it again for the holidays.  So coming soon, the first annual "On Holiday Random Thoughts" post.  But for this to work I need the help of you, dear reader.  Please send me a topic and I will write a paragraph.  You can leave a comment², email me, call me, use smoke signals, tell me in person, even leave a burning message in my yard if you want³.  The topic doesn't have to be holiday themed even though the title of the post will be, and hopefully I get so many ideas that I can save some for later.

So think of some ideas you want to hear about, or just want to make me blog about, and send them to me⁴.

I really crammed those footnotes in at the end there didn't I⁵?
