Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Chicken Pizza

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 ½ cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
1 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 fluid ounces thick teriyaki sauce
1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast meat
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Mix flour and yogurt in a bowl; dough will be crumbly. Transfer dough to a lightly-floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes, adding more flour if too sticky. Cut dough in half and form into balls.
  • Flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand, stretching and pulling until it is 1/4 inch thick (very thin). You also can roll out the dough with a rolling pin if that's easier for you. Shape the dough into two long ovals.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, prick using the tines of a fork, and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove and leave the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add onion slices, and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Spread the crusts with the teriyaki sauce leaving a 1/2-inch border all around the edges. Top with the chicken, onions, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Return to the oven and bake until the crusts and toppings are browned to your liking, 9 to 11 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with cilantro. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, you'll need to cut them into 1-inch pieces. If you're using chicken thighs, you can leave them whole.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a combination of spices, herbs, and liquids that you like. Some popular marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the chicken over high heat. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior. You can grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken. If you're grilling the chicken, cook it over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. You can check the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Barbecue chicken bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
