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.

Tips:

  • Use a store-bought pizza crust to save time. If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought pizza crust instead of making your own. Just be sure to choose a crust that's thin and crispy, so it can hold up to the toppings.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook. Stick to a few simple toppings that will complement each other, such as chicken, barbecue sauce, cheese, and red onion.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature. A high temperature will help the pizza cook quickly and evenly. If your oven has a pizza setting, use that. Otherwise, preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius).
  • Watch the pizza closely while it's cooking. The pizza can burn quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it while it's in the oven. Once the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling, the pizza is done.

Conclusion:

Barbecue chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give barbecue chicken pizza a try.
