Chicken Salad Pizza One 12-inch prepared pizza shell (see note below) 1 package (4 ounces) mixed baby greens 1 package (10 ounces) precooked, sliced chicken 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
Place the pizza shell on a pizza pan or platter and top with the greens.
Place the chicken over the greens and drizzle with the dressing. Slice and serve.
Note: If using a frozen pizza shell, make sure to thaw and bake in a 450-degree-F oven for 8 to 10 minutes before topping. I like to use a ready-to-top Boboli pizza shell because of the extra seasonings and cheese already baked onto it. | |

Mop Sauce Pizza
6 servings
Ingredients
1 recipe Mop Sauce (see recipe below)
1 large deli-roasted chicken
1 12-inch Italian bread shell (Boboli) or prebaked pizza crust
4 ounces smoked provolone cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper
4 slices pepper bacon or regular bacon, cooked, drained, and chopped
Directions
1. Prepare Mop Sauce. Meanwhile, remove skin from chicken and discard.
Remove meat from bones; discard bones. Use two forks to pull chicken
into small pieces (you should have 3 to 4 cups). Set meat aside.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Place bread shell or pizza crust on a
large greased baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread
Mop Sauce over bread shell or crust to within 1/2 to 1 inch of the edge.
Sprinkle with 2 cups of the chicken (save remaining chicken for another
use), cheese and sweet pepper. Sprinkle with bacon. Bake for 10 to 12
minutes more or until cheese is just melted and bubbly. Cut into wedges.
Serve immediately.
Mop Sauce:
In a small saucepan stir together 1 cup apple juice; 1 cup cider
vinegar; 1 teaspoon packed brown sugar; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1/2
teaspoon dry mustard; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin;
and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce. Bring to boiling; reduce
heat. Boil gently, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until mixture is
reduced to 1 cup. Add 2 seeded and chopped tomatoes (1-1/2 cups) and one
half (1/3 cup) of a 6-ounce can tomato paste; stir to combine. Return to
boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, about 10 minutes more or
until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Use immediately or
cool; cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tip: Make double the amount of sauce in a medium saucepan and reserve
extra to make another pizza or omit the tomatoes and tomato paste to use
as a barbecue sauce.

BBQ Chicken Pizza
6-8 servings 25 min 10 min prep
2 cups cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced (leftovers work great!)
2-3 cups barbecue sauce (use your favorite)
1 green pepper, diced
2 cups crushed pineapple (optional)
1 red onion, very thinly sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or 1 tomato, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pickled jalapeno peppers, more if you like them
2 prepared pizza crust (like Boboli)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded
Drain pineapple and slice or cut tomatoes, Drain very well in a strainer so
that the juice does not make the crust soggy. I even squeeze the pineapple
to get most of the juice out. A ricer works great here! BUT will smoosh the
tomatoes. Spread half of the bbq sauce on each pizza and top with chicken,
thinly sliced onions, diced bell pepper, cut and drained tomatoes, and pineapple
that has been drained well. (NOTE: PLEASE drain as much juice as you can so that
your crust does not get soggy).
Mix cheeses together and top each pizza equally. Place the jalapeño slices on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cheese bubbles and begins to brown.
Allow pizza to rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve!
