This post has been sitting in my draft for ages , so finally posting it.My hubby once bought this book for me called Sandra Lee Semi Home made : the complete cook book. He said the food inside looked nice,. Yes, the recipes had everything coming from the packet but I have to say some of them were quite handy in giving me ideas to try new recipes.There was a section on Pizza and Pasta, and this pizza recipe caught my attention.
The boys didnt like it but hubby and I enjoyed it. Try and use fresh pineapple as the canned ones release too much juice and makes it soggy.
Recipe : BBQ Chicken Pizza adapted from the recipe BBQ Chicken Pizza from Sandra Lee's semi home made : the complete cookbook
1 chicken boneless breast piece ( cooked [season with a little chilli powder, pepper, salt and bake or panfry] or use any left over chicken from a roast)
2-3 slices fresh pine apple, cubed
1/2 a red bell pepper, skinned, sliced thinly
1/2 cup bbq sauce ( I used American Garden Brand BBQ sauce)
Chilli flakes 1/2 tsp
pinch dried thyme
pinch ground black pepper
olive oil
a mix of mozzarella cheese and Chedder ( preferably smoked chedder) or you can use the pizza cheese mix
Pizza dough ( for 1 pizza)
Preheat your oven to the hottest you can get. Place your pizza pan inside to heat up.
Shred your chicken, Mix in 2 tbsp of the BBQ sauce and a pinch chilli flakes, and thyme and pepper. Set a side.
Take a piece of aluminium foil big enough to roll your pizza , drizzle with a little olive oil and spread your pizza dough on it .
Into your remaining BBQ sauce add the chilli flakes, pepper and thyme and mix well. Spread this all over the pizza dough.
Arrange the chicken and bell pepper and sprinkle with cheese.
Take the heated pizza pan out and slide the prepared pizza by holding the ends of the foil and plopping it carefully, with the foil onto the hot pizza pan. Pop back into the oven and bake for 10- 15 minutes till the cheese is melted and bubbling, cool slightly before cutting into slices.
