Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizzas


  • Total Time: 7 mins
  • Serves: 4-6, Yield: 4.0 flatbread pizzas
"This is an excellent way to enjoy your gas grill, use up some leftovers and cook up something beautiful and delicious in just a few minutes. Great for the day after a barbecue party when you discovered you made too much of something! This one is leftover grilled chicken, but I think it would work with any leftover grilled meat (except, perhaps, hot dogs). I made this today for lunch, after we finished, my daughter said it would have been better with some fresh basil, so I have added that to the ingredients."

INGREDIENTS

    • 4 flat bread ( you can use thin pita bread)
    • 1 1/2 cups of sliced leftover grilled chicken
    • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, coarsely chopped
    • 6 leaves fresh basil, coarsely chopped
    • 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat the grill. Mix all the ingredients together (except the bread) in a bowl. Use your hands. It's easier.
  2. Turn the heat to low on your grill. Lay the flat breads on (high rack if you have one). Mound the mixture on the flat bread, spreading to the edges. Close the grill and give it a minute or two, When it is melted, it's done. (If you leave it on too long, the bread will burn).
  3. Put it on a bread board and cut it with a pizza cutter.

Orange Cream Fruit Salad

ORANGE CREAM FRUIT SALAD
PREP TIME
TOTAL TIME
Author: 
Serves: 10 servings
INGREDIENTS
  • 3 oz. pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ¾ cup-1½ cups milk*
  • ⅓ cup frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 8 oz container Cool Whip
  • 20 oz. can pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained well
  • 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained well
  • 2 bananas, sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine pudding mix, milk and orange juice concentrate in a mixing bowl.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes and then fold in the Cool Whip. Gently mix in the fruit and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours until ready to serve.
  3. Feel free to add more fruit. I often add more oranges or bananas, and sometimes I add strawberries and mini marshmallows too. Enjoy!
  4. *We’ve made this recipe dozens of times with successful results, yet we’ve gotten several comments that the salad is too soupy. So, our advice is to reduce the milk to ¾ cups initially, and if the consistency is to your liking, feel free to add more.

I have a recipe SIMILAR to this one, no bananas and it is scrumptious!  Going to have this tomorrow nite!!!!

Brabant Potatoes-Louisiana Fries

this looked good;

Brabant Potatoes - Louisiana Fries
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish

For the Potatoes:

2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
4 cups cooking oil, for frying (canola, vegetable)

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

For the Seasoning Blend:

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning

Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4 inch cubes, holding in a bowl of cool water. For garlic butter sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan, add oil and garlic and simmer until garlic is tender; set aside to cool. Once cool, stir in chopped parsley. Combine seasoning blend in a separate bowl; set aside.

Drain potatoes and transfer to a saucepan, covering with fresh water. Bring to a boil and boil only until slightly tender, about 10 minutes; drain.

Preheat oven to 175 degrees F. Heat oil in a large, deep, heavy pot. Add the potatoes, frying in batches, and turning to brown evenly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Right as they come out of the fryer, transfer to paper towels, sprinkling each batch lightly with a pinch of the seasoning blend. Transfer potatoes to serving platter and place into warm oven, about 20 minutes, while you prepare the rest of the meal. Add any remaining seasoning to the garlic butter sauce, add potatoes to the saucepan and toss. Return to serving platter and serve immediately.

Cook's Notes: Cubing and boiling the potatoes in advance is a good timesaver when preparing this dish, as they can be held in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two until you're ready to fry and finish them.

ABOUT THIS RECIPE

"This was another one of our favorites in the 70's Very inexpensive and very easy to make. Just recently found this recipe hand-written by my Mom, and the warm feelings flood back to me, because this was a true favorite in our house. Little did I know that she was on such a tight budget, yet made things like this that we all loved!!
