Instructions
Chicken Prep/Cooking
- We are going to season the chicken with my AP and Lemon Bae Seasoning. As always, feel free to use whatever your favorite all purpose seasoning is if you don’t have my stuff. Lemon Bae can be replaced with lemon pepper and cajun seasoning to taste.
- For the seasoning/marinade, add 2 tbsps of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of garlic paste along with the seasoning blend.
- You can refrigerate this for up to 24 hours if you’d like, but a solid 30 minutes does the trick.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees while refrigerating
- Over medium heat, lay your chicken into the skillet, without overcrowding and press down firmly so that the protein makes good surface area contact with the skillet.
- Once your chicken registers 165 degrees internal temperature it is safe to eat. Do not cook it past that temp, otherwise you will end up with a dry end product. Allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes and then chop it into bite sized pieces.
Garlic Bread Prep/Cooking:
- Grab your mozzarella cheese, bread loaf, garlic paste, and chives, BBQ Sauce, baking sheet and a sheet of aluminum foil.2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, French Bread Loaf, 1 cup BBQ Sauce
- The chives will be used at the end for garnish. Mozzarella cheese was the cheese of choice today but if you have something else on hand that you enjoy, go for it! You will also need 1 cup of your favorite bbq sauce.Diced Chives
- Place a sheet of aluminum foil onto a baking sheet.
- Using a serrated blade, cut your French bread loaf in half.
- Melt 1 stick of butter and grab a little garlic and parsley.1 Stick of Butter
- Mix together the garlic, parsley, and melted butter and season to taste.
- Spread this mixture evenly across your bread and bake in the oven on your baking sheet at
400 °Ffor 10-12 minutes or until it begins to get crispy. - Once the garlic bread is about 70% of the way done, remove it from the oven.
Pizza Building
- First, add the 1 cup BBQ Sauce (preferably warmed!) and then add a nice layer of mozzarella cheese.
- After the cheese, add your diced chicken and some red onions.
- Pop this back into the oven for another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bread is crispy at the edges but still soft enough to eat
- Drizzle the pizza with remaining BBQ sauce for a little razzle dazzle, and then top with chives.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES
The most time-consuming part of cooking is not the cooking at all…it’s the prep work! I recommend organizing yourself and your ingredients before starting your dish.
