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.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
