My husband has been traveling out of town on business quite a lot these last few weeks and when he goes out of town, I find I don’t cook all that much. I tend to go for simpler meals and ones that can be thrown together quickly. Our weekly schedule has been quite crazy lately. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we have ballet and jazz. Thursdays are math tutoring and violin lessons (which after this week, I’m so relieved will be over) and Friday evenings have been taken up by Colleen’s Alice in Wonderland Ballet rehearsals. The last thing I want to do when I get home at night is clean up a messy kitchen and wash a lot of dishes.
That’s why I made this delicious Chicken Caesar Pizza the other night. By combining two of my family’s favorite foods I created a delicious and healthy dinner we all enjoyed.
This pizza was totally easy to make and required only a few simple ingredients. I used a pre-made whole wheat pizza crust and topped it with a hearty sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese which I melted in the oven for a few minutes. While the cheese was melting, I made a quick caesar salad and mixed in a few slices of grilled chicken. After I took the warm pizza out of the oven, I topped it with the chicken caesar salad and cut the pizza into wedges. Easy and delicious…my kind of crazy weeknight meal!
