Thin Crust BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Today's Menu: Thin Crust BBQ Chicken Pizza



Pizza Night! Thin Crust Low Carb Pizza night! I used Flatout Light  Flatbread for my Pizza Pie. I used a Rotisserie Chicken I had purchased from Walmart and pulled all the Chicken and shredded it. In the oven after lightly oiling the Flatbread I heated it at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Then removing it from the oven I added my ingredients: J B's Sticky Stuff BBQ Sauce, Chicken, Black Olives, Mushrooms, and Pizza Cheese. Back into the oven for another 7 minutes and then served! The Chicken with the J B's Fat Boy Sticky Stuff BBQ Sauce is a delicious combo and the Flatbread makes a fantastic thin crust pizza. For dessert/snack later some Townhouse Flip It Crackers topped with Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese and Hormel Turkey Pepperoni.

BBQ Chicken Pizza Night

Dinner Tonight: BBQ Chicken Pizza!

It was BBQ Chicken Pizza for dinner tonight! This is one delicious Pizza. The Chicken, Gouda Cheese, 2% Mozzarella Cheese, Pita Bread and J B‘s Fat Boy Sticky Stuff Sauce makes an incredible Pizza and then add in the Mushrooms, Pineapple Bits, and Black Olives, Too good! A note about the Gouda Cheese, I love this cheese! It melts perfectly. If you like ooey, gooey cheese you have to try this one. For the Chicken I used a Kroger Rotissiarie Chicken. I pulled all the meat and shredded it. I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I also used Wheat Pita Breads from Meijer Bakery.Easy to fix and done in minutes from the oven. A lot healthier than frozen or Delivery Pizza also. I left the recipe below.

1 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Rotissiaire Chicken or 2 baked Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 Cup Barbecue Sauce (recommended: J B’s Fat Boy Sticky Stuff BBQ Sauce)
2 Wheat or Whole Wheat Pita Bread
4 Medium Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced thin

Marinated Steak Tacos and Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Marinated Steak Tacos and Refried Beans


It was Tacos tonight at dinner! I used a Flat Iron Steak that I marinated for 4 hours in J B's Fat Boy Chipotle BBQ Sauce. After marinating I seasoned it a little bit more with Old El Paso Medium Taco Seasoning, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. Then I lightly fried it on medium low heat in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for about 12 minutes, turning once. Came out a juicy Medium Rare. I then thinly sliced the whole Steak, plenty of leftovers! I'll be using the leftovers for more tacos or for a salad for lunch tomorrow. I used Old El Paso Stand & Stuff Whole Grain Corn Taco Shells. I topped it them with 2 tablespoons of Kroger Brand Organic Black Bean & Corn Salsa, freshly grated Dutch Smoked Gouda Cheese, sliced Black Olives, and shredded Lettuce. The hardest part of the meal was putting together the Taco. It seemed for every slice of Steak we would add to the Taco we would eat two slices. The Steak was delicious! The Chipotle BBQ Sauce gives it a tremendous flavor! I also had a side of Old El Paso Refried Beans. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Del Monte No Sugar Added Sliced Peaches. 

  

Crock Pot Baby Back Ribs w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans, Au Gratin Potatoes, and...

Dinner Tonight:: Crock Pot BBQ Baby Back Ribs w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans, Au Gratin Potatoes, and Whole Grain Bread

It's a cold and windy winter's day around here today but it's warm and cozy inside with the aroma of ribs in the air! I had purchased some Pork Loin Back Ribs at Kroger earlier this week and decided to have them today. I seasoned the Ribs with JB’s Fat Boy Premium Rub and then brushed a half a bottle of JB’s Fat Boy Haugwaush Bar B Cue Sauce. I cooked the ribs for 8 hours on low in the crock pot. After 5 hours I applied the other half of Haugwaush to the Ribs.  The ribs came out perfect! Tender fall off the bone delicious. No knife needed as the bones could be removed by just pulling on them. This is my favorite way to fix ribs.

For the Beans I used Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans and added Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce, Crumbled Turkey Bacon Bits, Splenda Brown Sugar, and a few dashes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I left the recipe at the end of the post. I used Idaohan Potatoes Au Gratin which are very easy to fix and are just as good as homemade but with less calories and carbs. You can prepare them on the stove or by baking which is what I did. I also left the product description for the Potatoes below. We also had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Kicked Up Chili Beans

Ingredients:

1 Can Spicy Chili Beans, Brand your choice. I use Joan of Arc
3 Pieces Crumbled Turkey Bacon. You can use Turkey or Turkey Bacon Crumbles
4 Shakes Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
1/2 Cup Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce
1/2 Tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar or to taste
1 Teaspoon Ground Mustard

Empty can of Beans into a medium sauce pan
