Super Bowl/Super Food

Do I like Super Bowl? 


It depends on how you define Super Bowl. 


Do I like sitting around shouting at the TV hoping that someone on the other end can hear me?
No!


Do I like getting together with friends on the big day?
Yes!


Do I like loosing my husbands attention span because all he can think about is whether or not his favorite team is scoring?  And shouting at the TV?
No!


Actually my husband doesn't even watch football (or any sport for that matter) but I know some of ya' all can relate.


Do I like preparing game day food and eating it as if I missed breakfast, lunch and dinner?
Absolutely!






For kicks and giggles here's a fun app for the big day.

Barbecue chicken Pizzettas

The process

Pizza dough/focaccia bread recipe was shared with me by my friend Jennifer.
It's delicious

Barbecue Chicken Pizzettas


Ingredients


2 chicken breasts roasted and shredded fine
1/4-1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce(I like sweet baby rays)
1/2 cup onion, sliced thin and rings cut in quarters
2 cups mixed, Jack and Cheddar cheese
1 pizza dough


For pizza dough(by Jennifer)


2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, basil, and/or oregano (choose your combination)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 pkg yeast
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup warm water
corn meal(optional)

Mix 1 cup of flour with the herbs, sugar, salt and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil and stir until incorporated. Add in the remaining flour until combined. Knead until it resembles what you buy at the store. Rub more olive oil over exterior surface of the dough, cover with plastic wrap and rise for 1/2 to 1 hour. 


Heat oven to 425


Preparing pizza dough: Roll out dough on lightly floured surface until nice and thin(about 1/8 inch) With cookie cutter or anything else you have round and about 2 inches in diameter cut out mini pizzas. Gather up scraps and roll out until your desired amount. Put pizza rounds on 2 large baking sheets that have been sprinkled with corn meal.


For the chicken: Put shredded chicken in medium size bowl and add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Mix and set aside.


Building Pizzettas: Spread about 1 teaspoon of BBQ sauce on pizza rounds, add 1 tablespoon of cheese, top with 1 tablespoon chicken, and 2-3 slices of onion. Top with a little more cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crust is golden on edges and cheese is bubbly on top.
Makes a ton, about 35-40 pizzas.

Will there be any of these mini pizzas left after the game?

Absolutely not!
