{BBQ Ranch Pizza}

There's nothing like getting confident enough in your own abilities in the kitchen like experimenting with recipes of your own. While this one has a few kinks to work out ( namely, I still need to find a dough that I like better), This was a DANG tasty pizza, and is on the repeat list in our house!

BBQ Ranch Pizza

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 cup BBQ sauce of your choosing
• 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (I'm a huge fan of BBQ/Blue Cheese combo, but don't have it here in China. Let me know if you try it out with this!)
• 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
• 1 pizza crust

Instructions:



1. Cube two raw chicken breasts and season them. Salt and Pepper should be sufficient, though I throw a little garlic into the mix, too. In a medium pan, heat a teaspoon of oil and add chicken. Cook thoroughly. Once cooked, add BBQ sauce and simmer for 4-5 Minutes. Set aside.

2. Roll out pizza crust onto a pizza pan/stone/ whatever you use to cook your pizzas. Spread a generous layer of the ranch/blue cheese dressing on the pizza. layer the chicken and BBQ mixture on top of the dressing. Add cheese on top, and fold the crust of your pizza. Brush a little dressing on the crust, because lets face it, crust is just tastier with stuff on it. Ranch crust, oh yeah.

3. Bake in the oven on 400° F Until the crust is a golden brown and your cheese is bubbling. ( I like my cheese a little browned too, so I wait for it to burn just a tad before taking it out). 
Remove from oven and allow to sit and cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut and serve.... and go back for seconds. 

Happy munching,

{Om Nom Nom Baking}

I feel only slightly guilty that the majority of my posts lately have been baking related. Honestly, it's my way with coping with being so far away during the fall season. I have this week off for "National Holiday" and have literally been in the kitchen baking every day. Here are today's conquests!

Fresh baked bread, yeast rolls, and sugar cookies! I've been a little under the weather lately and the smells of China have been particularly nausiating. It's been good to have such delicious smells blocking them out. Jeff brought home a couple of happy little pumpkins today from the market. I smell pumpkin bread/pie/cookies in our future! :)

Have a scrumptious day!
