A great chicken pizza makes my day. I love anything with chicken, so when I see a recipe
that combines two of my favorite foods, I'm pretty happy.
The beauty of chicken, and pizza for that matter, is the wide variety of ways you can prepare it.
Chicken
can be roasted, grilled, slathered in BBQ sauce, seasoned for fajitas,
shredded, or cubed. It goes with just about any sauce too, such as
tomato sauce, alfredo, garlic, ranch dressing, olive oil, pesto...you
name it, and chicken will go well with it.
That's why combining chicken and pizza is a match made in heaven. There are infinite numbers of possibilities to be creative!
Note: We all know that chicken needs to be fully cooked to be
safe, so make sure if you are grilling or baking pizza, you cook the
chicken ahead of
time since the grill and oven cooks the crust much faster than the
chicken.
Here
are a few easy ways to prepare chicken for your chicken pizza (click
below to find a great chicken pizza recipe or two).
|
Buy
a cooked roasted chicken from your grocery store deli. Pull the meat
off the bones and tear it into smaller pieces. This is great for a
baked or grilled chicken pizza - particularly for a grilled pizza since the crust grills up so fast
(good to have already cooked and prepared toppings). This is a huge
time-saver and costs between $4 - $7 for the whole roasted chicken!
Baking
chicken on the bone is always a little juicier and tastier then
boneless. Buy a couple large chicken breasts with the bone in. Place on
a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season generously with
salt and pepper. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for about 35-40
minutes until the juices run clear. Once cooled, cube or shred for your
pizza.
Marinade your chicken in a delicious garlic or
BBQ sauce before baking. You can buy a pre-made marinade at the store
in a variety of flavors, or create your own using balsamic vinegar, soy
sauce, lemon juice or Italian dressing.
If you plan to
make a chicken fajita pizza, you can buy chicken already cut for
fajitas in the meat section or the frozen food section of the grocery
store. Of course, this can be a little more expensive, but saves time
in the kitchen.
Grill your chicken breasts and smother
with barbecue sauce (homemade or a good store-bought like KC
Masterpiece). This makes for a fantastic, fresh barbecue chicken pizza recipe.
