Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 1 pizza, to serve 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
Homemade Pizza Dough (recipe follows), prepared through step 10
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 garlic clove, minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 to 4 slices prosciutto
1 cup baby arugula
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Parmesan cheese, shaved
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water (95° to 110°F)
3 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon room-temperature water
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in another large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Stretch the pizza dough out into a 12-inch round. In the preheated cast-iron skillet, drizzle some oil, then add the dough round.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Spread the ricotta on top and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When the pizza comes out, mix the melted butter, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Brush it along the crust of the pizza. Tear the prosciutto into small pieces or strips and place on top. Top with the arugula and caramelized onions. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then top with shaved Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 slices to serve.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the flour to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle the salt over the flour and mix on low speed for 15 seconds to distribute the salt.
  • Add the olive oil, room-temperature water, and yeast mixture and mix on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, then increase the speed to medium and mix until a ball of dough forms, about 5 minutes.
  • Spray a medium bowl lightly with cooking spray. Shape the dough into a ball and set it in the bowl seam side down. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • When the dough is almost risen, place a cast-iron pizza stone on the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • When the dough has risen, remove the plastic wrap and push down on the dough to release the gases and bubbles. Shape it into a ball. (If using the dough later, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. The dough will slowly proof during that time. Once you're ready to use it, set it out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature.)
  • Spread a piece of parchment paper about 1 1/2-feet long on a work surface. Stretch the dough into a 14-inch round on the parchment.
  • Top with your favorite toppings. Carefully pull the oven rack with the pizza stone halfway out of the oven and transfer the parchment and pizza dough to the stone.
  • Bake until the crust is golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cut into 8 slices to serve.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large red onion, quartered & sliced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 prepared pizza crust
7 ounces feta cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh fresh parsley
3 roma tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skilet over medium heat.
  • Add onions and stir- cook until transparent.
  • Stir in brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano & basil.
  • Continue to stir- cook until liquid has evaporated (about 10 minutes) and onions are caramelized.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.

  • Spread onions over pizza crust.
  • Cut chicken into bite size pieces and spread over onions.
  • Sprinkle with feta, parsley& chopped tomatoes.
  • Bake for 10-15 mintues or until crust is brown and crisp.

Tips:

  • If you don't have apple jack, you can use hard cider or apple juice instead. Use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor. Don't overcook the chicken; cook it until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. The caramelized onions add a delicious sweetness to the pizza; cook them until they are golden brown and slightly soft. Use a variety of cheeses for the best flavor; I used mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a well-oiled baking sheet. Be sure to preheat the oven and pizza stone (if using) before baking the pizza.

Conclusion:

Apple jack chicken pizza with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make pizza that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The apple jack gives the chicken a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, while the caramelized onions add a delicious sweetness and crunch. The pizza is finished with a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses, which makes it gooey and flavorful. This pizza is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken.
