The Franklin Avenue Kitchen: Chicken Adobo Pizza



Pizza shouldn't be hard. If you're struggling while making one at home, maybe you're best off ordering carryout. Or, if you haven't already, you ought to run over to Trader Joe's and pick up their bagged pizza dough.

Ready-made pizza dough is one of the reasons Trader Joe's exists. And at this point I'd say it's the No.1 Trader Joes Item We Couldn't Live Without. The dough comes in regular, wheat, rosemary/herb and cornmeal; we're presently a big fan of the cornmeal.

Our fridge usually boasts at least one package of pizza dough. That's why it didn't take long for us to figure out what to do with the leftover chicken adobo we brought home from Maria's mom's house.

It's too easy: Roll out the dough. Brush some olive oil on it. Sprinkle some cheese (the secret: keep it simple. Don't overdue the cheese.) Tear off pieces of the chicken and place it throughout the pizza. Cover the pie with baby spinach. Add a few more dabs of cheese. Bake for 10 minutes.

Told you: Easy. (Maria and I also regularly stick chicken sausage or other ingredients on the pizza.) And you know what? Chicken adobo pizza is pretty damn good.
