Pizza Chicken Dinner

ok, yeah I was playing with food again, and not just playing but more like mad scientist experimentation....

After digging around in the "pantry" I assembled this combination of ingredients

• french bread
• can of whole tomatoes
• fresh garlic
• basil
• oregano
• the rest of the pizza cheese from my homemade pizza
• onion
• green pepper
• a portobella mushroom
• 2 oversized boneless frozen chicken breasts (the end of big bag of frozen chicken breasts)

I put the chicken in a pot of water as if I were going to make something else like chicken & dumplings or soup... , chopped some garlic in with it and cooked the chicken

put the can of tomatoes in a pot (picked apart by hand), added chopped garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper, cooked that down to pizza sauce just like I do for my homemade pizza

when the chicken and the pizza sauce were done I tore the chicken into strips and put it in a big microwave bowl, put the pizza sauce on top of that and then the pizza cheese, popped it in the microwave for 3 minutes
 
measured the broth from the chicken cooking pot and added enough water to cook a box of couscous, used the same pot to cook the couscous

sauteed the mushroom in a small skillet (so my son would eat the peppers and onions lol)
 
sauteed the onion and pepper in a big skillet 

sliced the bread, buttered it, chopped more fresh garlic onto it and toasted it in the oven
 

Made a bed of couscous on each plate, placing a portion of the pizza chicken on 1/2 of it and the onions & peppers & mushrooms on the other 1/2 (except no mushrooms on my sons plate lol) he's in a no mushroom phase...

add bread and eat - yummy - couldn't have turned out better if I'd actually known what I was gonna do to start with

Easy Homemade Pizza

 

• Pre-made crust (they also store well for future use)
• can of whole tomatoes, chopped clove garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper
• pizza toppings
• pizza cheese

 

 


oops I forgot the pepperoni... before I took this last picture


cook the tomatoes with the garlic and spices until enough liquid cooks out of the tomatoes for it to reach a sauce consistency...  I tear the tomatoes apart when I first dump them in the pot, do this by small pieces carefully or you'll squeeze tomato stuff all over yourself... lol

spread sauce on pizza crust, add toppings, and cheese, bake following directions on your pre-made crust.
