Semi-Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza















I've realized a lot of what I make is "semi-homemade." There are a lot of pre-packaged foods that taste great, are healthy, so I choose to use them as a HUGE time saver! I quickly made this pizza in less than 30 mins this weekend to have while watching football on Sunday. I would have been cooking throughout the entire game if it wasn't for Mama Mary's pizza crusts:)
Ingredients:
Mama Mary's Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
1 T olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 purple onion
shredded mozz. cheese
favorite BBQ sauce
parsley














Preheat oven to 425
1. Cook chicken breast on stove top; cut into cubes.
2. Lightly brush crust with olive oil.
3. Brush top of crust with BBQ sauce.
4. Spread chopped onion, chicken over BBQ sauce.















5. Cover toppings with mozzarella cheese.
6. Sprinkle with parsley














7. Lower oven to 400 degrees.
8. Place pizza directly on center oven rack.
9. Bake 10-12 minutes

Matthew's Chicken Ladas with Green Chilis

This recipe comes from Denny and the Matthews family. Don't let the green chilis scare you! As I said before, I am pretty scared of anything spicy..So when I say this recipe has just enough spice for a really good flavor, I promise it won't be too much! I remember going over to my friend Megan's house and having her dad (Denny) make his specialty chicken enchiladas. I think that's saying something if I remembered last having this recipe when I was about 14 yrs old!
P.S.-for any Sioux Falls natives- this reminds me of Mama's Ladas enchiladas!!
*Also...ignore the puke-yellow colored stove in the background of the pics-this was made in Trevor's lovely Patterson Hall residence;)














Ingredients:
4 medium-large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thawed
1 pkg taco seasoning mix + 1 cup water
1 (16oz) container light sour cream
2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
2 (2oz) mini cans of green chilis
1 (6.5oz) can black olives, chopped
12 (or so) Flour tortillas
1 pkg shredded cheese
Optional topping-
Shredded lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa

3. Allow chicken to boil about 1/2 hour or until cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, combine sour cream, soup, chilis, olives in a medium bowl.















5. Once chicken is cooked, drain.

7. Return chicken to pan.
8. In a small bowl or measuring cup, measure 1 cup water.

10. Add taco seasoning/water mixture to the chicken.
11. Add HALF of the sour cream/soup mixture to the chicken. Stir-this is your enchilada filling
