homemade pizza
when I lived in Santa Clara, California there was a pizza joint down the street (within walking distance) called Pizz’a Chicago that I used to frequent quite often. They had a pizza (the Untouchables) that featured barbequed chunks of chicken, barbeque sauce and red onions that I liked a lot. So today I went crazy and made my own pizza – but I took Pizz’a Chicago’s basic three ingredients and kicked it up a couple of notches. At any rate – it turned out awesome! It was so great that I thought I’d share the recipe.
First I made myself a nice screwdriver (using Svedka vodka and Tropicana pulp-free orange juice) and got all of my ingredients in order.
Then I put some chopped asparagus and red onions into a frying pan and cooked them on a rangetop.
next, I cut up some breasts of chicken and cooked them on another rangetop. I used lots of spices. I grilled my chicken in Korean Stir Fry sauce with lemongrass, spicy Montreal chicken seasoning, Creole seasoning and garlic powder.
after this I spread some pizza sauce on a pizza crust. I used Boboli pizza sauce on a Boboli pizza crust just because that’s what they had at the local Piggly Wiggly. Yeah I live in the South.
on top of the pizza crust and sauce I added several different cheese shreddings, the chicken, the asparagus, the red onions, some pepperoni, some chopped tomatoes and some Sticky Fingers Carolina Sweet barbeque sauce.
on top of all this I spread some more shredded cheese then sprinkled on some Parmesan, some more spicy Montreal Chicken seasoning and some more lemongrass.
I cooked the finished pizza in the oven for 15 minutes at 450 degrees.
and voila! It was pretty awesome.
Chicken.
On pizza.
That is SO California and SO NOT Chicago!
speaking of which:

apparently the bread, cheese and pizza sauce were optional – I could have heated myself up a salad and called it a pizza!
*sigh* Morons. Then again, this is the government. That’s a given!
