Nutrition per portion
Ingredients
1 TBSP OF OLIVE OIL
2 TBSP OF MINCED ONION
2 TBSP OF MINCED GARLIC
1 CAN OF TOMATO PASTE
1 CUP OF CHICKEN BROTH
1 TSP OF SALT
1 TBSP OF SUGAR
1 TBSP OF ITALIAN SEASONING
1 PACKAGE OF PIZZA DOUGH
1/2 CUP OF CHEESE
1/2 CUP OF SLICED ONIONS
1/2 CUP OF SHRIMP
Method
Preheat the oven to 500 F or highest temp it can go for 35 or 40 minutes.
On medium heat In a small saucepan place 1 tbsp of olive in with minced onions. Saute until onions in oil for about 1 minute. Then add garlic, crushed red pepper and salt. Continue to stir until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook the raw taste out of it for 5-7 minutes by stirring. This will help with tartness.
Using a whisk, pour the cup of chicken broth in slowly. Whisk the broth in slow to create the desired thickness of the sauce. You may not use all of it depending on your personal taste. Once you have your desired thickness, add the sugar and italian seasoning then stir to incorporate.
Half cover with small lid and allow the sauce to simmer on low. I let mine cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes taste and adjust for flavor. If you find that the sauce is too thick add more chicken broth to thin it out until desired likness. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
In a large cast iron pan 12 inches. Place a tsp of oil at the bottom and rub all sides. Remove and access oil with a paper towel. Pull the dough into the shape of the pan. Make sure the dough covers all sides. Once it does, allow the dough to stay covered with a towel until ready to bake about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the crust will be room temp and slightly bigger. Start to layer your desired toppings. Because the cast iron isn't the same temp of the oven, I would suggest you start to cook the pizza on the stove over medium low heat for 10 minutes. Then place it in the over for 15 minutes but check after 10 as everyone's oven is different.
If your pizza is done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the cast iron pan and enjoy.
The weather is getting warmer and it is time to break out those grills for some healthy chicken kabob! Chicken kabob are yummy, easy, and fun to eat. The combination of veggies or meats/veggies are endless. Today I am going to show you my no fail chicken kabob recipe.
All you need is a few simple ingredients and you have a very satisfying meal. For all my veggie friends this recipe works for you too! I would use veggies like zucchini, potatoes, carrot, onions, etc to make your kabob. Follow the recipe and just skip the meat and use your favorite veggies. Just make sure you cut them large enough to hold up to the grill. Anyway, let’s jump right in to this chicken kabob recipe!
What you will need:
4 Cubed Chicken Breast
8 Portobello Mushrooms
4 Bite Sized Chopped Onions
10 Cherry Tomatoes
Spice Mix:
1 tbsp of Onion Powder
1 tsp of Pepper
1 tsp of Salt
1 tsp of Ground Mustard
1 tsp of Crushed Red Pepper
Oil Dressing:
4 Tbsp of Avocado Oil
2 Fresh Minced Garlic Cloves
2 tsp of Fresh Thyme
2 tsp of Fresh Parsley
3 tsp of Fresh Oregano
Tools:
Skewers Metal or Wood (please soak wood skewers for at least 45-60 minutes prior to use)
Cooking Brush
Assemble:
Preheat grill.
Mix the spice blend and sit aside. Mix the oil dressing and sit aside.
Separate chicken, onions, mushrooms, and cherry into different bowls. You can place veggies and chicken as instructed in the video below or in your own pattern. These veggies are interchangeable as well. Please use whatever veggies or meats you like best.
Vegan Friendly Option:
If you are going vegan or vegetarian, use sturdy veggies that can hold up to the heat, I would use veggies like zucchini, potatoes, carrot, onions, etc to make your kabob. Follow the same steps and grill until veggies are tender. I would pre-boil potatoes for about 6 minutes prior to placing on the grill. This way it will cook at the same pace as the other veggies you choice.
Cook:
Once all the meats and veggies are on the skewers place on a hot grill. Sprinkle generously the spice mix over the top of the veggies and chicken. After the first 3 minutes turn brush on the oil based dressing on top and turn over.
Sprinkle the other side with spices and brushes on the oil dressing. Cook kabob on each side for about 3 minutes or until an internal temp of 165F.
Remove from the grill and brush the remaining dressing and spices on top.
Serve:
You can serve this with salad, rice, or a nice pasta. The sides are endless!
