Pizza - BBQ Chicken & Bacon

If you enjoyed the BBQ Meat Lover pizza, odds are you will be a fan of today’s toasted pizza sandwich: BBQ Chicken & Bacon. I had thought about leaving the bacon out of this recipe, but as a friend of mine says, “everything tastes better with bacon.” Never was a truer word spoken. Bacon does enhance the flavour of this toastie.

While we are on the subject of flavour, I feel it is worth mentioning that the chicken used in this recipe came from a pre-cooked BBQ chicken that I brought from my local supermarket. I love these chickens: they are convenient (perfect for bachelor cooking), there is enough meat for a couple of meals, and the meat tastes delicious.



BBQ Chicken & Bacon

Makes: 2 toasties

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp. bacon, diced
• 2 tsp. onion, diced finely
• 3 tbsp. cooked chicken, shredded
• 2 tbsp. BBQ sauce
• 3 tbsp. mozzarella cheese
• 4 slices of bread
• butter (optional)

Method:

1. Preheat the toastie maker and butter each of the four slices of bread (optional).
2. Arrange your ingredients on top of two of the four slices of bread (butter side down), as if you were making a real pizza.
3. Place one slice of bread, butter side up, on top of your completed pizza.
4. Place the pizza into the sandwich toaster or jaffle maker.
5. Gently close the lid and allow to toast for approximately 3 minutes, or until the bread has browned sufficiently.
