If you're looking for a winning recipe for your holiday cookie swaps, then scroll through this round-up  of 60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes on Taste As You Go!   Do you ever get That Feeling in your gut when you realize that what once brought you happiness now fills you with dread? You know the one... It's That Same Feeling that causes you to ask yourself repeatedly " Why am I doing this again?" I've been trying to battle that super persistent feeling for the past few weeks by giving myself little pep talks: "Don't give up now. You DO want to do this!"  "Don't you remember how much you used to love doing this? Just keep going!" " Do it one more time and you'll see -- everything will be fine. You'll feel much better once you get it over with." But no matter how many times I tried to get excited about it, I found a reason to avoid doing it. (Thank you, Caroline.)

There have been definite points in time when I couldn't leave well enough alone. (I'm sure the perfectionists out there can understand where I'm coming from.) Take this recipe for Barbecue Chicken Pizza, for example. This was one of the very first recipes I shared on Taste As You Go. And, even though I've already shared an updated version of the recipe, I wasn't happy with it.

Hence this post now.

Yes, I'm sharing the recipe yet again. But, as I was editing these photos, that familiar dissatisfaction began creeping up. These photos aren't exactly what I want either. So... I wouldn't put it past me to try photographing this particular pizza for the fourth time in a few years.

Laying down the base for the Barbecue Chicken Pizza!

One of the biggest differences between this version and the previous ones is the use of pizza dough. In the earlier recipes, I relied on pre-baked pizza crust, but I have since come around on that. I haven't reached the point of making pizza dough from scratch each week... but I do like using the fresh dough you can find in the grocery store. The resulting pizza is so much tastier and I prefer the texture of the crust.

For the most part, the actual method of assembling the pizza remains the same. Roll out the dough and spread your favorite barbecue sauce on top.

Barbecue Chicken Pizza with fresh cilantro!

Sprinkle with some chopped fresh cilantro and smother with shredded cheese. Then slide that bad boy into the oven to bake.

Over time, we've discovered that baking our pizza at 500°F on the bottom rack for 10-11 minutes produces the crispy bottom and chewy outer crust that we like. But don't feel you have to follow those specifications for your pizza. Bake it up the way YOU like it!

Barbecue Chicken Pizza - a family-favorite on Pizza Night!

Just one tip with this pizza -- when you take it out of the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help prevent all of the toppings from sliding off (and burning your face!) when you bite into it. ;-)
