Pizza Muffins

We love pizza and here is a different form...Pizza Muffins!

You will need:
1 tube of Pillsbury biscuits(I have also used Rhodes rolls dough and it was so good too)
Pizza sauce(any brand you like)
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
And any pizza toppings you like

First, grease your muffin tin. Use your hands to roll out the biscuits. (Usually a tube of biscuits has 8 and your muffin tin has 12 spots, so I just divided the biscuits in half for a couple of them, or you could just use 2 tubes of biscuits instead.)
Place the rolled out biscuit in tin and put one spoonful of pizza sauce then your cheese and toppings.
And its as easy as that!
Follow your cooking instructions on the biscuit container. Mine took about 11 minutes!  Really quick and easy oh and GOOD!

Marinade for chicken

3 cups orange soda
1/3 c. Soy sauce
1 T. Montreal steak seasoning
1 T. Minced garlic
1/3 c. Canola oil
1 tsp. sugar
6 chicken breasts
Sweet baby rays BBQ sauce.
Place chicken in the marinade . Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours. 
I always put my chicken in plastic bag and then I pound it with a tenderizer mallet. This really makes it tender and is worth the hassle. I then grill it in pan half way then put in dish in oven to cook til done. 300 degrees. The slower u cook chicken the more tender it is.  Add BBQ sauce when done.
