My Project: Chicken Cheese Pizza

Pizza is an oven-baked, flat, disc-shaped bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and various toppings. Originating in Italy, from the Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many parts of the world. An establishment that makes and sells pizzas is called a "pizzeria". Pizza is one of the national foods of Italy and the Italian people.

I have made this delicious pizza lots of time before. My mom used to make it for me since my childhood. I just loved the way she make it. So I have learned the technique about how to make good pizza and finally I learned it.

I have seen lots of recipe in the book but I always follow my mom recipe which make my dish litle bit tastier than regular pizza. I beleived the secret recipe is my mom's love.

Main Ingredients:

• Boneless chicken breast
• 1 (10 ounce) refrigerated pizza crust
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• Flour & yeast
• Tomato Sauce (can)
• Capsicum, onion & Jalapeno

The Shopping:

Here I am on 111th street, liberty avenue, shopping for the one of the heart ingredients(chicken) that is available at. The reason I chose this store because here I can find Halal meat.

                                              

                                          1. New Amin Grocery & Halal Meat

                
After buying chicken, I went to the met food for buying other ingredients.

                                               2. Met Food Markets

                                             Here are the main ingredients

And here is how much the ingredients cost:

• Chicken breast $10.75
• Tuttorosso(Tomato Sauce) $1.49
• Fleischmann's (yeast) $2.69
• Pillsbury(Flour) $1.99
• Green Pepper 0.99lb $0.60
• Jalapeno Pepper 0.44lb $0.66
• Craft Mozzarella (cheese) $4.79

The tomato and onion I already have at home. The whole meal, cost me $22.17 and it served 5 people. So it comes to almost $4.00 a slice of pizza (Soda included).


The Cooking:

As I explained  I made pizza before. So it is so simple to make and enjoyable.

                              I washed the chicken very well and sliced it into small pieces.

                         Then I sliced the Jalapeno in round shaped.

Then I sliced the Capsicum, tomato and onion as well shape as I could similar to the  previous way.

Then I cooked the sliced onion and tomato with chicken on heated oil. In this way, chicken taste so good.

Now the most important part. I made the pizza crust mixed with yeast and flour. After I made that I have to wait about 5 to 6 hour. That's how yeast make the crust so good . When its ready I put the crust in pizza pan.

Then I put All ingredients on pizza pan step by step. First I put tomato sauce, then chicken, Jalapeno, capsicum and shredded cheese.

Now my Pizza is ready to cook. I Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or medium baking sheet. Then I put my pizza into the oven and wait for about 30 min until cheese is melted and bubbly.

                       Finally my pizza is done so well and I am ready for eat!!

                         That pizza was really tasty...Look at me!!!
