1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, thinly sliced
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 (13.8-oz.) can Pillsbury® refrigerated classic pizza crust
4 (1-oz.) slices provolone cheese, each cut into quarters
1 cup refrigerated honey hickory barbecue sauce with shredded chicken (from 18-oz. container)
4 oz. marbled mild Cheddar and white Cheddar cheese blend, cut into 12 slices
1 egg white, beaten
Heat oven to 425°F.
Spray large cookie sheet and 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add apple and onion to skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apple is tender and onion is translucent. Stir in brown sugar. Cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Unroll dough; place on sprayed cookie sheet. Starting at center, press out dough into 15×10-inch rectangle. Place provolone cheese slices in 5-inch-wide strip down center of dough. Spoon barbecue sauce with shredded chicken over cheese. Layer apple-onion mixture over chicken. Arrange Cheddar cheese blend slices evenly over apple-onion mixture.
With scissors or sharp knife, make cuts 1 inch apart on long sides of dough rectangle to within 1/2 inch of filling. Alternately cross strips diagonally over filling; turn ends under and press to seal. Brush beaten egg white over top.

It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.

Was not impressed with this one.
I was so underwhelmed that I’m not even going to go into details. I ended up eating a PB&J.

Delicious option definitely, I liked the combination of ingredients. Can’t wait for baking this in order i can taste it bymyself. This receipe would be good for snack, just when you feel hungry.

I finally tried this one. I couldn’t find the shredded chicken, so I settled for the pork one (still the honey hickory flavor).
Also, I forgot to buy a sweet onion and didn’t want to risk putting a yellow onion in. So I substituted another apple.
I found it to be pretty darn delicious. All you taste really is that bbq sauce, but I love the combination of all the textures.

I’m glad you liked it! I remember being pretty unhappy with it as I made it (almost exactly like the recipe). It was just too soggy all around.
Maybe I’ll revisit it sometime, I felt like it had so much potential.
