Chicken Pizza x2

For homemade pizza, I use the recipe on the back of the yeast package. Really crust options are only limited by your imagination. Vivian likes hers on pita bread.

For a 12-14 inch pizza

Greek Chicken

1/2 c diced cooked chicken
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1/4 medium onion cut into thin strips
olives
feta cheese (only 1/2 c. max)
mozzarella cheese
pizza sauce.
Sprinkle with oregano

My only advice on pizza assembly, put the cheese on before the toppings. This stops cheese from burning and cooks your toppings better.

Chicken, Bacon and Pineapple

1/2 c chicken
1/2 c. pineapple bits
3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
mixture of mozzarella cheese and cheddar
pizza sauce

Waldorf Chicken Salad

This is by far my favorite chicken salad recipe. The apple lets you stretch your meat a bit further. I eat it plain, on a sandwich, on lettuce, or in a wrap. It stores well in the fridge for a couple days. I've also added celery or craisins to mix things up.

1/4 c walnuts, chopped and toasted
1/3 c plain yogurt
1 T mayonnaise
2 t lemon juice
1 t Dijon Mustard
1 t minced fresh thyme
1 c cooked chicken, chopped
1 medium apple, peeled and diced

Mix all together. Serves 4.
