Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 2 9-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons favorite barbecue sauce (we use a spicy-sweet sauce)
bbq chicken pizza dough
semolina or flour, for handling
1/2 cup favorite barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons shredded smoked gouda cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 small red onion, sliced into 1/8-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • To make BBQ Chicken: In a large frying pan, cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled through.
  • Once chilled, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce; set aside in the refrigerator.
  • To make the pizza: Place the pizza stone in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F for one hour before cooking pizzas.
  • Use a large spoon to spread ¼ cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon smoked Gouda cheese over the sauce. Cover with ¾ cup shredded Mozzarella. Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese (approximately 18 pieces). Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup Mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
  • Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 tablespoon cilantro over the hot surface. Slice.

The crust on this pizza was a bit too thick for my liking. I would prefer a thinner crust next time.

This pizza was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less BBQ sauce next time.

I'm not a huge fan of BBQ chicken, but this pizza was surprisingly good. The sauce was tangy and the chicken was juicy.
