Barbecue Chicken Bacon Pizza Bread
I've been dreaming up versions of this pizza bread for years. It's the sort of dish I turn to when we need a "grab & go" meal. I often receive requests for quick and easy family friendly meal ideas and in particular, dishes using chicken. So, after a busy day of running here and there, I made this for a quick and easy dinner for my family and I snapped a few pictures along the way to share it with you all, too. If you need a larger pizza bread, increase the amount of dough that you start with or make two.. It goes amazingly well with a salad and reheats well, too.
