Chicken Fest: Day 3
My wonderful wife was able to get a review of Zaycon Frozen Chicken. We received 40 lbs of frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts, which we split with Ann. I was wondering how we would go about trying the chicken and started to think about all the different dishes that use chicken, so in honor of Milwaukee, city of festivals, I came up with CHICKEN FEST.
In addition to the quality of the chicken and the ease of preparation, I was impressed with the cost of the chicken we received. The 40 pound box only costs $63.60, that's only $1.59 per pound! That cost is much better than any grocery store sales I have seen.
Today Betsy and I continue our culinary travels with some unique pizza creations.
CHICKEN FEST: DAY 3
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza and Buffalo Chicken Pizza
I don't usually put chicken on my pizza, but I do enjoy it when it is made in these combinations. We picked up some tasty and easy to use Boboli crusts to make our pizzas on. One of the good things about making your own pizza is you don't have to rely on exact ingredient measurements, you can put as much or as little of each topping on as you like, making each pizza a one of a kind creation. Here is everything you will need to make them.
The chicken was roasted in the oven at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes until the internal temperature reached 170 degrees. Then I pulled the chicken apart by hand into bite size pieces to put on the pizzas.
For the chicken bacon ranch pizza, spread the desired amount of ranch dressing onto the pizza crust, leaving some room around the edge. Top with finely shredded mozzarella cheese, bacon bits, and some of the shredded chicken.
Bake directly on the rack at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven, slice, and enjoy.
For the buffalo chicken pizza, spread the desired amount of your favorite buffalo wing sauce onto the pizza crust, leaving some room around the edge. Top with finely shredded mozzarella cheese and some of the shredded chicken.
I decided to prepare this one on the grill, so here are some extra steps I took. I preheated the grill to between 400 and 500 degrees and I lightly brushed some vegetable oil onto the bottom of the crust before putting on the toppings. When making the pizza on the grill, only leave the burners going on one side of the grill and place the pizza directly on the grates on the other side. Cook the pizza for 15 to 20 minutes, checking it regularly and rotating the pizza one quarter turn every 5 minutes or so. When cheese is bubbling and crust is crisp, remove from the grill, slice, and enjoy.
Make sure to come back tomorrow when Chicken Fest rolls into BBQ country.
