I had some feta I recently purchased from the Barossa Valley Cheese Co., this beautiful cows milk feta (they call it Peri Feta) that is creamy and very salty?the only words I can use to describe it are freaking awesome. I know. I amaze you with my vocabulary daily. I never really liked feta before; it always seemed stinky and just not good. But clearly, I just had not tried quality feta. So I was in search of some sort of inspiration of what to do with my feta, and I thought of this: Greek Chicken Pizza. I used pita bread for the crust, just sprayed with oil and crisped under the broiler. Then I added chicken I had marinated in a lemon garlic vinaigrette with oregano, pounded flat and then broiled (so it wouldn?t take so long to cook), sun dried tomatoes, caramelized and saut?ed onions, and green olives. Okay, so it wasn?t a traditional Greek pizza, because I didn?t have Kalamata olives or other Greek-type food. But it tasted Greek enough, damn it. And that?s all that matters. Obviously I topped it with the feta and put it back under the broiler until the cheese just started to melt and get brown. Just before eating it, I drizzled a little more lemon garlic vinaigrette over it, which really made the flavors pop.
If I had to put the flavor of this pizza into words, it would probably read like this: A-fucking-mazing. Period. Seriously, sometimes I throw stuff together and it is just okay. This time, it was borderline orgasmic. And if you?ve never had borderline orgasmic food, well then, I feel sorry for you. Hopefully this food porn will get through your dry period. ~LTG
