As many of you know, Joe and I are kind of obsessed with the food network. I'd say 80% of our recipes are from the food network (often with slight modifications/personalizations!), 10% are from cookbooks, magazines, friends, or my mom, and 10% are self-made recipes. I feel like I learn a ton of techniques and make "scary" foods when I'm using food network recipes, but it's exciting to cook something totally on my own - especially if I'm successful!
My favorite self-made recipe is pretty simple.
Barbeque Chicken Pizza
-1 onion, roughly chopped
-1/2 bell pepper, roughly chopped
-1 chicken breast
-paprika
-thyme
-cumin
-garlic powder
-s & p
-hot sauce
-barbeque sauce
-pizza dough (preferably trader joe's herbed pizza dough)
-1/2 cup pepper jack or monterey jack cheese
1. Chop onion and pepper & saute in large skillet on medium heat with 2 tbsp of oil.
2. Season chicken breast with paprika, thyme, cumin, garlic powder, s&p. (However much you'd like!) Cube chicken breast and add to skillet.
3. Saute until onions are soft and brown and chicken is fully cooked.
4. Add a few dashes of hot sauce (depending on how spicy you like it) and about 1/3 cup of barbeque sauce. Stir to combine.
5. Preheat oven and roll dough out based on package instructions. Add chicken mixture, top with cheese, and sprinkle with cilantro.
6. Bake based on package instructions.
You can adjust the heat by omitting or adding hot sauce or by using a more or less spicy cheese. Enjoy!

It was killer! The crust was great and it was very filling...I have no idea how I was able to resist eating the last few pieces, but at least we have leftovers for tomorrow. Maybe in the summertime we'll try grilling pizzas like Bobby Flay (I think that was him) did!
