Barbecued Chicken Pizzas Recipe




  • 8 Servings
  • 5
    • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
    • 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Gouda cheese
    • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

    Directions

    • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
    • Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Lightly brush both sides of dough with oil; place on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.
    • Remove from grill. Cut the chicken into 1/2-in. cubes. Spread the grilled side of each pizza with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce; layer with chicken, onion, cheese and cilantro. Return to grill. Cover and cook each pizza for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (4 pieces each).


      • Prep: 25 min. Grill: 10 min.

    Breakfast Spinach Tarragon Quiche Phyllo Cups


    6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
    6 eggs, organic
    6 tablespoons water
    12 ounces spinach, drained well
    1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (or any shredded cheese you like)
    2 tablespoons all purpose white whole wheat flour
    1 tablespoon dried tarragon
    Salt and pepper to taste
    spray organic olive oil

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, mix together eggs, water, spinach, cheese, flour, tarragon, and salt and pepper until well blended.

    Open Phyllo dough and on a dry surface, open the inner package and lay the dough sheets out flat. Remove six sheets and place under a slightly damp, clean kitchen towel. Place the remainder back into the package as it was removed and place back in freezer. Remove the kitchen towel and cut the Phyllo dough into approximately six even squares. They won’t be exactly even, but that’s fine for this recipe.

    In a large muffin pan (at least 6 muffin openings), place the fillo dough squares into each of the muffin cups so some of the dough extends past the rim of the muffin cup. Repeat for remaining five cups. Spray the fillo cups with a light spray of the olive oil. Equally divide quiche mixture into each of the fillo cups taking care not to overfill. Bake in a 425 degree oven for approximately 10 to 12 minutes or until fillo is slightly brown and quiche is firm to the touch. Ovens vary in temperature so pay attention. Carefully remove from muffin tins and allow to slightly cool. Best served warm.
