What's for Dinner: BBQ Chicken Pizza

I've been trying to cook meals lately that all three of us can eat. Tonight's meal is one of my favorites. Not only am I able to make Brenna's meal out of it, but it's also chock full of vegetables that are well hidden so Stephen will eat them. :)

The recipe is really simple, and I cheat even further by using a ready-made, roasted turkey breast from the deli instead of cooking up chicken. For those of you that haven't been around me while I'm cooking, be forewarned that I don't measure anything. To help, I've included a few photos.

Ingredients:

Onion

Carrots

Garlic

Zucchini, cut in small cubes

Chicken (or Turkey Breast)

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Goat Cheese

Parmesan Cheese

Boboli Pizza Crust

Barbeque Sauce

Chop the onion and carrots and saute them in olive oil with the garlic until the carrots are tender. Add the zucchini and cook until slightly tender (I don't like it mushy). Remove from heat. Chop up the chicken or turkey and add to mixture.

Set aside about 1/2 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture to use for baby's meal. Spread barbeque sauce on top of Boboli crust then cover with remaining chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover with mozzarella cheese then sprinkle with shredded parmesan and crumbled goat cheese. Bake in oven at 450 degrees until cheese is browned and crust is crispy.

While pizza is baking, puree the 1/2 cup of chicken vegetable mixture with 1 jar of carrot baby food and a bit of water. This will make enough for two meals. Remove 1/2 cup of puree and put in the refrigerator or freezer. Add multi-grain barley cereal (or rice cereal) to remaining puree to thicken.

This Bites

Today I felt a little, sharp nub protruding through Brenna's bottom gum, confirming that all of the fussiness this past week has been from teething. Her nights are getting better with less frequent yelling, but daytime has been a challenge. Naps have been pretty much non-existent the past two days. The only way I have been able to get her to sleep today is to play a Baby Einstein DVD to distract her while I rock her. So much for those good sleeping routines we worked so hard to establish. I'm hoping and praying that she will easily fall back into her normal nap routine after these first teeth finish coming in... whenever that may be.
