Adobo Chicken Pita Pizza


I guess I have been on a bit of a pizza bender lately. So, I console myself with the fact that these are "pita" pizzas and not delivery with thick crust and mounds of cheese. Makes sense, right?

Anyway, this pizza turned out to be SO good that I really wanted to share it. If you're not familiar with Adobo sauce then it's time you got yourself acquainted. Adobo sauce is used in Mexican and Peurto Rican cuisine. It is a spicy, dark red sauce or paste made from ground chiles, spices, herbs and vinegar. It is the sauce that is used to can chipotles, a smoke-dried jalapeno chile. The Adobo sauce is rich and smoky and adds a great depth of flavour to this pizza.

Adobo Chicken Pita Pizza
Makes 2 large pita pizzas

  • 1 chicken breast (I used a cutlet, which was nice as it really picked up on the marinade, more surface area)
  • Adobo sauce
  • 2 large whole wheat pitas
  • 1 cup of pizza sauce
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 cup sliced fresh button mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Grana Padano, Asiago, or Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Queso Fresco (a crumbly, fresh Mexican cheese), could subsititute with mild goat cheese

Marinate the chicken with the Adobo sauce for a couple hours. My Adobo sauce was more of a paste so I spread it evenly on both sides. Grill the chicken breast or cutlet over medium heat, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Let cool enough to handle and dice.

Caramelize the onions along with the mushrooms. Refer to my posting on Greek Pita Pizza for instructions. Set aside and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 400. Place the pitas on cookie sheets to bake. Spread the pitas with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle on the onions and mushrooms, diced chicken, Grana Padano, and Queso Fresco.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cheese and crust are golden.

Enjoy!

A point of detail, but the adobo you're using is the Mexican variety.

The Puerto Rican one is a semi-dry rub based on mashed garlic, salt, oregano, black pepper, oil and vinegar. It's also very yummy -- we do the Thanksgiving turkey with it -- but considerably different than the Mexican sauce one buys in jars.

'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet elegant way, placing value on appearance and working in a refined manner. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'traditional style for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages dress yourself in notably Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the roads on vintage bicycles - with lots of the men sporting remarkable mustaches! That is just one single of many types of data displaying the resurgence of such variations. Additionally, there are numerous sites on the web which focus on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on providing articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, although certain facets of common men's fashion could be brought back as new developments, the fundamental outfits which they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.
