Foodie Blast: BLT Chicken Caesar Pizza
Ok, so I cannot take credit for this amazing recipe. I have swiped this from my foodie conesieur Miss Rachel. I plan throughout the summer with her permission to forward some of her amazing recipes... but this one hands down has me ready to fire up the grill (if I had one lol) and channel my inner Italiano!!
Alrighty here is the yummy goodness... Once again thank you Rachel for allowing me to share!!!
"This is a great pizza to do on the grill as well - I love to grill the romaine before tossing in the dressing when I make it on the grill - adds a great smoked flavor to it."- Rachel S-S
For Pizza:
Preheat oven to 450 or follow your pizza crust instructions (example Pillsbury has you do a quick par-bake before adding the toppings).
Cook bacon, remove to drain.
Cook tomatoes and shallots with salt and pepper to taste in bacon pan on medium until caramelized (about 6-8 minutes), remove with slotted spoon.
Remove chicken from marinade and cook over medium heat until cooked thru. Remove and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken into bite size pieces. Toss with 1/2 c caesar dressing.
Brush pizza crust with remaining 2 tablespoons of dressing and top with cheeses, bacon and tomato; add chicken to pizza.
Cook pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted and begun to bubble.
While pizza is cooking, toss shredded romaine with lemon juice. Add 1/4 cup dressing and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Toss and set aside.
Top the pizza with the salad. Serve immediately.
I hope you all try it and enjoy... I know I will!!!
Until the next ramble or foodie blast!!
Toodles!!
