ALMOST-FAMOUS BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA



Almost-Famous Barbecue Chicken Pizza image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield one 10-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/2 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark barbecue sauce
1 8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup grated smoked gouda cheese (about 3 ounces)
2/3 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Shape the pizza dough into a ball, add it to the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper third and middle of the oven. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the top rack and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, lay out a sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the ball of dough to the parchment and roll it out into a 10-inch round, stretching it with your hands as needed. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil, cover with another piece of parchment and set aside to let rise slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • While the dough rises, mix 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl. Put the chicken in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper and brush with the barbecue sauce mixture. Bake on the middle oven rack until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Uncover the dough and spread with the remaining 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Top with the chicken, gouda, mozzarella and red onion. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet, then slide onto the hot stone or baking sheet; bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA



Barbecue Chicken Pizza image

This simple recipe celebrates a 1980s classic invented by the American pizza genius Ed LaDou (whose fingerprints are also on Wolfgang Puck's famous smoked-salmon pizza). The pizza matches the flavors of chicken with barbecue sauce, red onion, two kinds of cheese and a little cilantro. Use homemade dough and barbecue sauce, cook it in the hottest setting of your oven, and the classic pie goes from good to great. Want to make the recipe vegetarian? Simply substitute mushrooms for the chicken and sauté until most of their moisture is evaporated.

Categories     pizza and calzones, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 12-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces chicken breast or boneless, skinless thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 17-ounce balls pizza dough (see recipe)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, roughly sliced
1/2 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 ounces Gouda, roughly grated
A few sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500. Season the chicken with salt, and heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Toss the chicken into hot oil, and cook for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until you no longer see any pink. Add 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, and stir well, then set aside off the heat.
  • Working on two separate pieces of parchment paper, use your hands to stretch the 2 balls of dough into 2 rough circles, about 12 inches in diameter. Slide each piece of parchment paper onto a baking tray, and finish assembling pizza there: Drizzle with remaining olive oil, spread with remaining barbecue sauce, then evenly divide the mozzarella all over. Top with chicken pieces, red onion and finally Gouda.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until dough is cooked through and edges of the onion and cheese are just starting to color. Once the pizza is slightly cooled, season with salt and pepper and scatter with cilantro.

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA



BBQ chicken pizza image

Make a healthy, low-calorie pizza that adds up to three of your 5-a-day and give the takeaway a miss. The barbecue chicken lends a moreish smoky flavour

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course, Supper

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

250g wholemeal flour , plus a little for kneading if necessary
1 tsp instant yeast
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp rapeseed oil , plus extra for greasing
pack of 3 peppers
1 large onion
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp fennel seeds
2 tbsp barbecue sauce
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 large skinless chicken breast fillet (about 225g), diced
175g baby plum tomatoes , quartered
50g Applewood smoked cheese , grated

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the flour into a mixer with a dough hook, or a bowl. Add the yeast, salt, oil and 200ml warm water then mix well to a very soft dough. Knead in the food mixer for about 5 mins, but if making this by hand, tip onto a work surface and knead for about 10 mins. The dough is sticky, but try not to add too much extra flour. Leave in the bowl and cover with a tea towel while you halve and slice the peppers and onions. There is no need to prove the dough for a specific time, just let it sit while you make the topping.
  • For the topping: toss the peppers and onions with the oil and fennel seeds then roast for 15 mins. Meanwhile mix the barbecue sauce and tomato purée with 5 tbsp water.
  • Take the dough from the bowl and press into the base and up the sides of an oiled 25x35cm Swiss roll tin. Don't knead the dough first otherwise it will be too elastic and will keep shrinking back. Spread with two thirds of the barbecue sauce mix then add the remainder to the chicken and toss well to coat it.
  • Take the roasted pepper mixture from the oven and spread on top of the pizza. Scatter over the tomatoes then evenly spoon on the barbecue chicken. Scatter with the cheese and bake for 15 mins. Serve with a salad or healthy coleslaw.

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA - CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN STYLE



BBQ Chicken Pizza - California Pizza Kitchen Style image

If you've ever been to the California Pizza kitchen and tried this pizza, you'll never want to go back to the greasy East Coast style...

Provided by Gaelige Coinnaigh

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.

Tips:

  • Use a pre-made pizza crust or make your own. If you're short on time, a pre-made crust is a great option. However, if you have the time, making your own crust is a fun and rewarding experience.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your pizza will taste. Choose fresh, flavorful chicken, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few key toppings that you love.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help the crust get crispy and the cheese to melt perfectly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the cheese to set and prevent the pizza from falling apart.

Conclusion:

BBQ chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just looking for a quick and tasty dinner, this pizza is sure to please. With its smoky barbecue sauce, tender chicken, and melted cheese, this pizza is a surefire hit. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, give this BBQ chicken pizza a try.
