So lately it seems I get home at 5, walk the dogs, pour a cup of coffee, and before I know it, it's 6pm, and Thom is pulling into the driveway... yikes! dinner! umm.. what dinner? Even when I plan a menu (which I am pretty consistent with), it's becoming increasingly harder to pull it all together in order to eat before 7pm.. which becomes a problem because we've committed to this new very cool exercise regime, and let's face it *NO ONE* wants to exercise 10 minutes after eating! Sooooo... in desperation the other night, I had this little light bulb go off..... Pizza.. Now I know, it's really easy (especially in our family, due to "connections - heh-heh.).. to just pick up the phone; but that get's 'spendy' after a while. So here is my solution to those hectic nights when you need something healthy, homemade and best of all are really only a few minutes to throw together. I find one piece with a serving of tossed salad really hits the spot!
BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA (serves 4, 1/4 each)
1 BOBOLI brand pizza crust (or your fave brand) * or go low-carb, and use a flour tortilla, reduce cooking time to 5 minutes, checking often.. it's more like a 'crisp crust' pizza.
1 rotisserie chicken
1 jar BBQ Sauce (I recommend Dinosaur Brand Serious Slathering Sauce)
1 tsp (or to taste) red pepper flakes, or chipoltle chile powder
1 pkg. shredded jack cheese.
That's it, folks. Spoon about 1/2 cup sauce onto the crust, brush to within 1/2" of the edge.
Sprinkle the pepper flakes/chipotle powder over the sauce (or stir it in before applying to the crust.) Pull apart the chicken and chop into bite-sized pieces (you won't need the whole chicken) Sprinkle over the sauce. Cover with the shredded cheese. Bake at 450 for approx 8 minutes. Voila.
And I'm sure, you, like me will immediately become inspired with endless variations! Like spinach, fresh tomato, feta; or ham, pineapple, or mozarella, olives, sundried tomatoes... the list is endless...
Hope you enjoy this!
