I often look for recipes that I can use to spice up my leftovers. Funny thing, though, I rarely have leftovers to spice up, especially when it comes to extra chicken. Usually I buy just enough when I’m making a sauce or casserole. If I’m not using an entire rotisserie chicken, I’ll cut up the rest as treats for my dogs.
My generosity to the dogs has not been without consequence. The following has actually happened:
- One pug has drooled all over the floor to the point of having to wipe up the puddle. He eventually looked like a rabid dog with the spit bubbles forming all over his mouth.
- While I was getting the rest of the groceries from the car, the sack that contained the chicken was drug from the kitchen to the living room by same pug. The other pug was betting on another sack and was munching on the bread I had brought home.
- Our Chihuahua drew blood when I was trying to give her a piece of the chicken because one of the pugs made a move. She decided it was going to be hers come hell or high water. She got the chicken… and a little extra flesh.
Now when a chicken enters the house, I sense they all know part of it is for them. I honestly don’t want to find out what would happen if they didn’t get a taste.
Even with the craziness of the rotisserie chicken, I decided that I wanted to try these chicken bagel pizzas because I usually have a lot of this stuff on hand. I ended doubling the recipe using only the white meat of the bird. I chopped up the rest of the dark meat as treats for the dogs… for which they gave me much love.

Cheesy Chicken Bagel Pizzas |
It isn’t too far from the published photo with the recipe and it definitely looks eatable. I think I let the cheese brown a little too long because it is starting to look a little charred.
