Well, I dug into my Gooseberry Patch cookbook that I am making 10 recipes out of over the next 3 months along with some of Real Farmwife pals. If you remember, the people voted over on realfarmwivesofamerica.com for me to cook out of and give away the Farmers' Market Favorites. My first recipe...Bruschetta Pizza!
I will also be honest. I added chicken to the recipe. After seeing the Bruschetta Chicken Pasta over at Crumbs and Chaos from last weeks linky, I knew it would be delish. Bruschetta Pizza with chicken is now a summer pizza favorite with the fresh tomatoes, onions, and herbs combined with lots of Italian cheeses and grilled chicken.
Bruschetta Pizza
Now, back to the bruschetta pizza. Start with 8-10 Roma tomatoes and chop them up.
Then grab 5-6 garlic cloves, ½ onion and 2 tablespoons of fresh basil and chop them all up.
Toss in a bowl and add ⅓ cup olive oil, ½ teaspoon pepper, ⅓ teaspoon garlic salt, and ¼ cup balsamic vinegar. Stir to blend and set aside.
Grab a 13.8 oz tube of refrigerated pizza dough
Drain your bruschetta mixture and the put about 2 cups on top of the pizza.
Next comes the chicken. I am glad I had thrown some cooked cubed chicken in the freezer a while back because, after a quick thaw, it was pizza ready.
Top with a cup and ½ of mozzarella cheese or Italian mixture of cheeses, dried oregano to taste and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of it all.
Bake according to the pizza crust directions.
It was so good. I put more than 2 cups of bruschetta on the pizza, so the crust was a little soggy, so I should have cooked it a bit longer than package directions.
