Italian Sub Pizza

Hello again!

It felt so weird to take a week off from the blog, but NaNoWriMo took over my life last week! I finished and validated my 51,258 words Wednesday, so I’m so excited to be back today with a all-new recipe for you guys.

BBQ Bacon Chicken Sandwich (Fat Kid Chicken Sandwich Part III)

Hello again!

Sorry I’m a day late everyone! NaNo, and the hubs being off for two days completely threw me off. But I’m back! And I’ve got another Fat Kid Chicken Sandwich recipe for you guys!

Thanks to a poll from a recent post, I decided to try my hand at a Monterey Chicken Fat Kid.

The original Monterey Chicken recipe(I make this one from Life in the Lofthouse) is a chicken breast topped with BBQ sauce, Ro-Tel, cheese, and bacon. It is amazing!

I used tomato slices on my sandwich, and I missed the slight heat from the green chilies in the Ro-Tel. So when I made this again, I added a bit of crushed red pepper on top of the bbq sauce, and it was perfect. Feel free to omit this, or use a squirt of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for that heat. Whatever you like best.

Any way you make, this sandwich was really good. The hubs loved it, and said he can’t wait for the next installment of the Fat Kid Chicken Sandwich.

I hope you’ll try this easy, delicious, and indulgent sandwich! If you do, please snap a photo and hashtag it #messycountersfp. I’d love to see what you make!

BBQ Bacon Fat Kid Chicken Sandwich

BBQ Bacon Fat Kid Chicken Sandwich

4 frozen chicken patties
4 onion buns
8 slices bacon, cooked to desired doneness
4 tbsp bbq sauce
Crushed red pepper, to taste
4 green onions, chopped
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

 

Cook chicken patties according to package directions. Or don’t. My package says 17-20 minutes at 400°, but mine came out better at 425° for the same amount of time. The breading got crisper.

Using your broiler, toast bun tops. Set top buns aside, and flip bottom bus right side up. Smear bottom buns with bbq sauce, crushed red pepper, chopped green onion, sliced tomatoes, and cheese. Broil until cheese is melted. Top with chicken patties, bacon, and top buns. Enjoy!

Thousand Island Macaroni Salad

Hello again!

Ever since I made my own version of Thousand Island dressing, I’ve been loving it. It’s delicious on burgers, fries, Fat Kid Chicken Sandwiches… it’s just delicious.

And then last week I was thinking about macaroni salad.
