BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

1 Tbl olive oil

1 cup yellow onion, julienne

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 Tbl garlic, minced

3/4 pound fully cooked grilled chicken, small dice

1 cup BBQ sauce-divided

1 cup roasted red bell pepper, cut into long strips

2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

6 Pizza Crusts, prepared and pre grilled

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the onions, salt and pepper in the heated oil and lower the heat. Cook 12-15minutes, stirring often. Onions should caramelize and become brown, but not burn. Add the garlic and cook 3 minutes more.

Combine the onion mixture, chicken, and half of the BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl. Brush the remaining barbecue sauce on the top of each prepared pizza crust. Distribute the chicken mixture over the barbecue sauce. Combine the cheese. Top each pizza with the cheese mixture. Divide the roasted bell pepper strips over the top of the cheese.

Prepare the grill. Cook the pizzas, covered, over indirect medium heat or in a 400 degree oven until the topping is hot and the cheeses have melted.

Allow the pizzas to cool slightly before cutting.

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
