I like to cook. I like chicken. I like to make things easy... ok, I like to CHEAT. Seriously though, if I can buy an entire rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club, or my grocery store for $4.95 why shouldn't I shorten my prep list and time? Let's face it, most places these days you can buy a fresh rotisserie chicken for the same price, or less, as buying a whole chicken, or worse, boneless skinless chicken breasts.
So, this is my experiment into how many real recipes I can make using store bought rotisserie chicken. Wish my husband's stomach good luck!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Many years ago there was a sandwich shop in my neighborhood that specialized in hot sub sandwiches. I'm not a huge fan of having my ham, turkey, or roast beef hot, but I did love this bbq chicken pizza they served! Tonight we had my version for dinner....

Ingredients

1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed from the bone and shredded
1 hot roll mix (you can use a precooked store bought crust, but I don't prefer it)
1 cup of your favorite bbq sauce
1 medium onion, sliced thin
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
jalapeƱo pepper slices, as desired

Directions

Make ot roll mix as directed for pizza. My mix said bake at 425, but did not mention prebaking the crust. I prefer to partially bake the crust, before topping it, for about 10 minutes. This ensures the crust will be fully cooked, not raw and doughy in the center. After 10 minutes, remove crust from the oven and spread bbq sauce evenly over the crust. Cover sauce with chicken then onions. Next top with cheese. I like a few jalepeno slices on my side, my husband does not. I will leave that up to your own preferences. Bake another 10 minutes. Enjoy!

My husband really turned his nose up at this one, but once the pizza was cooking, he said "wow that really smells good". Later he mentioned he really liked the onions. I know I've got a hit when he says "honey, you can make that again"!
