Bacon Chicken Barbeque Pizza

I'm back!!! It's been a while since I've posted and I promised myself that I would do a better job of posting my recipes and sewing adventures. But believe me I've got a good excuse or two. If it isn't work or life in general it's a little health issue that I needed to take care of. I'm now on the mend and have completed my first cooking adventure with the help of my son Jeffrey.

Jeffrey told me about this amazing pizza that he eats at college. It had barbeque sauce, chicken and bacon on it, made my mouth water just talking about it. I told him we could make this pizza during summer break and so here it is summer break.

One problem my summer break doesn't start as early as his. He started his on May 7th and mine did not start until June 10th. Although my last day was May 10th I had surgery scheduled for May 14th to fix a little issue with my foot. I am finally feeling better and I am able to walk around a little better, so we decided today was the day to do it.

We started by making a pizza dough in the bread machine, but you could simply buy pizza dough from the grocery store. I just like to make my own. The recipe I used I got from Recipe.com, one of my favorite websites for recipes. Whatever dough recipe I find just toss it in my bread making machine and program it for dough. I haven't had a recipe fail me yet. Once the dough is made just roll it out and put on a cookie sheet and bake for about 5 minutes before adding any of the ingredients.

Bacon Chicken Barbeque Pizza
Barbeque sauce
chopped onion
bacon, cut into small pieces
Chicken, cooked
Mozzarella cheese

1. Spread barbeque sauce on top of partially baked crust. We used Masterpiece BBQ sauce
2. Sprinkle chopped onion on top.
3. Add bacon and chicken. We used a Mesquite chicken from Sam's club that we love.
4. Top with cheese.

Bake pizza for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is getting golden brown.
