I grew up in a family that had the pleasure of enjoying homemade pizza regularly. I can remember many times spent as a family, eating our pizza that was baked on a 9x13 baking pan, watching a movie, together, in our family room. My mum still continues to make her famous "mile high BBQ chicken pizza pie" on Friday nights and now I get to begin my own Friday Night Pizza Night tradition with my family.
Here is my mum's famous BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe:
Ingredients for Topping:
· 3 chicken breasts
· ½ pound bacon cooked
· ½ red onion
· ½ red pepper finely chopped
· BBQ sauce as much as you like
· Tex Mex cheese
Instructions for Topping:
1. Cook chicken, red onion and add red pepper at last one minute of cooking.
2. Add BBQ sauce. We tend to like Bull’s Eye. Add as much as you like!
3. Place topping on prepared pizza dough.
4. Cook 400F for 12-15 minutes or until done, brown on top and bottom
5. Enjoy with a glass of red wine.
