As you may know.....pizza is my favorite food.
I could eat it everyday.
At Christmas I got THIS pizza maker.
(It is also on sale HERE)
We have been making pizza for dinner a few times a month since we got it!
I have been experimenting with different pizza toppings/recipes and there have been some REALLY good ones!
Once a month I am going to share a new pizza recipe with you.
You don't need the pizza maker (you can use your oven) but I am letting
you know that using this pizza maker gives your pizza an authentic
pizzeria taste!
I am planning on sharing a new pizza recipe every month.
Kate LOVES that pizza, so I told her that I could make a homemade version of it for her!
Pineapple Chicken Luau with Bacon Pizza
Here is what you need:
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded (I use THIS method)
- 3 or 4 slices of bacon, cooked & chopped
- Pineapple chunks/tidbits
- Pizza Dough (I use pre-made dough from Safeway or Trader Joes. I like Safeway's better because it so much easier to work with & tastes
better! You can make your own dough, but when the pre-made dough is
only $1.50, this is a no brainer!
- BBQ Sauce
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
If you use pre made dough, I keep the dough in the bag for 30 minutes at room temperature.
While the dough is sitting out for 30 minutes, I get the shredded chicken ready.
You can actually barbecue 2 chicken breasts, but I have a method that is SO.MUCH.EASIER!
I boil the frozen chicken breasts for about 15 minutes (until they are cooked!)
After 15 minutes I take out one of the chicken breasts & cut it in
half to make sure it is cooked all the way through. No one wants under
cooked chicken! YUCK!
I put them in my kitchen aid while they are still warm & using the
paddle attachment, I turn it on and it SHREDS the chicken in less than a
minute!!!!!
Check it out!!!!!
I don't know about you, but cutting up chicken grosses me out, so using this method is LIFE CHANGING.
Then I take about 1-2 cups of the shredded chicken & add it to a bowl with BBQ sauce:
Add as much BBQ sauce as you need to fully coat your chicken. I LOVE BBQ sauce, so I add a lot.
If using the Pizza maker,
I split the dough in half and then roll out your dough on a lightly
floured surface & then I put my dough on a piece of parchment paper.
I cook it on the parchment paper
for a few minutes because then I can slide the pizza off the parchment
paper without messing up the crust or making all the toppings slide off.
I like cooking it without the parchment paper because then it gives the
crust a pizzeria taste! If I had a pizza peel, I wouldn't need to have
the parchment paper because then I would have the pizza peel to transfer
the pizza to and from the pizza cooker...but I don't have one of
those yet.
Spread some BBQ sauce onto the dough:
Then add some mozzarella & cheddar cheese:
Add some of your quick & easy shredded BBQ chicken to the pizza:
Add some pineapple tidbits:
Add chopped up cooked bacon (I cook the 4 slices of bacon in the oven at 450 for 20 min)
Yum.....Bacon!!!
Sprinkle some more mozzeralla & cheddar cheese on top:
The extra cheese on top helps ensure the chicken & bacon don't get too dried out :)
Bake in your pizza oven (or regular oven at 450 degrees) for 8-10 minutes
(I bake mine on parchment paper for 5 minutes & then slide it off the parchment paper & bake it on the pizza stone)
Adding bacon to this pizza is so good!
Kate told me she liked my version better than Mountain Mike's, so I consider that a win :)
I hope you like this pizza as much as we do!
We are having so much fun making our homemade pizza!

ReplyDeleteI want to buy the pizza maker for my husband for Christmas. What is the lowest price you have seen it for? It remember looking at it a few months back and it was on sale also, just don't remember the price. I have some time, so I can wait for the best deal.
