CRUNCHY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Though I am not a big fan of pizza, Barbequed Chicken Pizza is an exception for me. I have loved this pizza since I first tasted it at a California Pizza Kitchen decades ago.

This is a recipe I adapted once when I wanted this pizza and didn't want to deal with making dough and didn't have any french bread or english muffins to fake the dough but I did have tortillas! It's also a great way to use leftover barbequed chicken.

The best part is you get the great tastes that I love in this pizza without all that bread or dough! Try serving this with one of my tropical flavored martinis - Pieces of Eight Martini or The Pink Flamingo Martini - from The Martini Diva and you have a flavorful snack for your cocktail hour or even for dinner!

Text recipe for Crunchy BBQ Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
1 - 12 inch flour tortilla
2 to 5 tablespoons of your favorite barbeque sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup grilled chicken breast, cubed or shredded
1/4 cup red onion, diced fine
1/2bunch of fresh cilantro
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the tortilla on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake until crisp on both sides. Layer the barbeque sauce, cheese, chicken, onion and cilantro on the tortilla then place back in the oven for about 4 minutes to heat and melt the cheese. Slice into wedges and serve!

Cilantro is the leafy part of the herb coriander - also known in some places as Chinese parsley. I think it's referred to as dhania(?) in India. What we call coriander here in the States is the seed part of the plant.

Cilantro is one of those flavors you either love or hate. I LOVE cilantro! Interesting enough, I really dislike parsley - although it has chlorophyll in it and it a natural breath freshener!

And cilantro is very easy to grow yourself which is nice because a bunch of it here can run as high as $3!
