Chicken Fajita Pizza



“Everyone is guilty at one time or another of throwing out questions that beg to be ignored, but mothers seem to have a market on the supply.
"Do you want a spanking, or do you want to go to bed?"
"Don't you want to save some of the pizza for your brother?"
"Wasn't there any change?"”
~ Erma Bombeck quotes
(U.S. humorist, 1927-1996)

Since we're big fans of both pizza and chicken fajitas, this was a winning combination for us! The kids aren't crazy about salsa, so rather than putting it directly on the pizza, I served it on the side. I also added a bit of sour cream on the side, too! Delicious!


Chicken Fajita Pizza


Chicken Fajita Pizza

1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced green bell pepper
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 packet fajita seasonings
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Unroll the pizza crust onto a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan that has been coated with cooking spray; pat dough into pan, slightly building up edges. Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

While crust is baking, sauté chicken in oil for 5 minutes. Add the green pepper, onion, and fajita seasonings; cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 - 5 minutes. Spoon chicken mixture over crust; top with salsa and cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
