I'm going to make this for dinner tonight. Anyone make this yet? Any advice? Which way should I cook the chicken that goes on it? A quick and easy way or a flavorful way? Which method would you use?
 
I cooked the chicken in the DCB. It turned out great!
 
I also do the chicken in the DCB. Its fast easy and great to show at a party. :) I've made it twice already and both times didn't put all the onion on as called for.
 
I actually wasn't very impressed with this recipe. It lacked flavor to me. Maybe if I would've added garlic, or dill or italian.....something. Just my opinion, but I don't think I'll offer it too much.
 
I add the garlic oil to our dough and on top which makes it awesome. I love this recipe!
 
That's a GREAT idea Amanda!! I typically do this myself...using the garlic oil definitely gives it that extra taste! It's really yummy too!! I would DEFINITELY cut the onion back a bit too!! It just calls for WAY TOO much raw onion...IMO! GL...it wasn't that bad though!
 
I used a rotisse chicken. This is the third time I have made the recipe and my DH and DS both love it!! Last time I omitted the onion, and it didn't taste as great. I would definitely add the bacon though--great blend of flavors!! I also would take the Dot's Trio bowls and put sliced olives (egg slicer plus), sour cream, and green onions to top it off!!
 
I did this recipe at a show on Saturday and it was a huge hit. I made it the next day for my family (mostly me) and again, it was out of this world. I agree about cutting back on the onion. This one is a winner!
 
I actually use sweet onion instead of red onion as the flavor is more mellow. I also agree it needs some extra flavor. I am sure one of our rubs sprinkled on would do the trick. I really enjoy the Citrus & Basil one. I also use the Thin Crust pizza dough which is the perfect size for the large bar pan.
 
Re; my above post... I meant I would take the Dots Trio Bowls with the olives, sour cream and green onions to my shows when I make the Mexican Chicken Lasagna.I was having a "senior moment". But, I do love both recipes!!
 
I have just used cubed chicken from Costco. Gasp- yes precooked chicken.... but soo easy!
I LOVE this recipe and am going to try it with the garlic oil on top of the crust now too- sounds delish!
 
Ha- now you know I'm a total rookie- first post above. :-) And my first show is Monday. Hooray. I love TPC and this website has been invaluable!
 
When we made it at our meeting - it was delicious. I think the bacon added the flavor that made it so good. In my opinion, the bacon is not optional. So use the bacon!
 
I've made the pizza several times and its always a hit. am thinking about trying ranch salad dressing over the crust before the veggies.
 
Hello everyone:) This is my first post I posted 3 time geesh no clue were in this sorry:( and I hope it goes thru. I just found this site and wow so much info! I wanted to post a question and try to get some feedback. At my shows I have been making the Spinach & Artichoke braid since day one! I guess I became to comfortable and was afraid to change since it worked. Some shows I have 2 or 3 girls come from my previous shows and I think it's getting played out. During the summer I tried the Asian chopped salad but I was so lost on what to do next I was mortified:( I did try it at home. Well, I went back to the braid grrr. I want to make something else but simple on my stone. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated! I need to get out of my comfort zone. Thank you so much!
 
Maria, welcome :)

There are a couple of answers in the thread you started in the recipe tips section :)
 
I love the California Club Pizza, but I use precooked chicken as well. I put it in the Batter Bowl and pass it around with the salad chopper and let everyone have a try at it. I sell a ton of those salad choppers when I use them like this at a show.
 
I loved the CC Pizza. it was tastey and easy to make!
