Bacon Chicken Pizza with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Bacon Chicken Pizza with Creamy Garlic Sauce

We make pizza often here at KQ, and we're always experimenting with variations on our favorite flavor profiles. This latest example created by KQ partner chef Philip, is topped with very crispy chopped bacon, chopped chicken, diced onion, diced jalapeno and grated cheese. The experimental part of the recipe was using creamy garlic sauce, (instead of a tomato based sauce), made using fresh crushed garlic cloves. The results were very tasty. Three of us ate the whole pizza in one sitting!

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Blue Chip Nachos

Above: Blue Chip Nachos.

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Blue Chip Nachos

Chef Philip made nachos for an appetizer, and to change things up he piled the toppings on blue corn tortilla chips. Chef Philip also prefers to mix the toppings together, so things don't fall off of the chips. The topping for these beauties included a base of refried black beans mixed with diced onion, diced jalapeno and grated jack cheese. The nachos were also topped with a dollop of sour cream, (not shown). The entire plate was gobbled up in no time, which is an indicator they were mighty yummy!
