BARBEQUE CHICKEN GRILLED PIZZA



Barbeque Chicken Grilled Pizza image

Quick and easy for those summer cookouts. I often make as an appetizer while the ribs are cooking. Use whatever toppings you normally like on regular pizza, but the barbeque chicken is always a crowd pleaser! The dough never makes a perfect rectangle, but we have fun guessing what it looks like ('That looks like America!'). For the chicken, I use the grilled chicken pre-cooked at the store.

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN PIZZA WITH MOZZARELLA AND ROASTED GARLIC



Grilled Chicken Pizza with Mozzarella and Roasted Garlic image

Go from good to gourmet when using Stella® Cheese for this grilled chicken pizza with roasted garlic.

Provided by Stella Cheese

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Stella® Cheese

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 heads garlic, top of bulbs trimmed off so tops of cloves are exposed
1 ball pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
1 ½ cups cooked and pulled/chopped chicken
4 ounces Stella® Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
1 cup spinach leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wrap garlic heads in foil and place on small rimmed baking pan. Transfer to oven and cook 1 hour or until garlic is dark golden brown and very soft. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to touch. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skin into a small bowl.
  • Preheat grill for two-zone grilling: half of grill should be set to medium-high; other half should be off (indirect heat).
  • Stretch and shape dough into 14-inch circle and place on pizza pan or large tray. Brush one side of dough with 1 tablespoon oil. Use hands to transfer dough to direct heat side of grill, oiled side down. Do not worry if dough becomes a little misshapen during the transfer. Cook 2 minutes, or until the dough releases itself from the grates (do not disturb dough before it releases).
  • Brush top side of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then use tongs to flip dough. Cook 2 minutes or until dough releases from grates. Continue cooking dough 3 to 4 minutes longer or until dough is firm and grill-marked in all areas, flipping and rotating frequently but keeping grill closed when not flipping.
  • Remove dough from grill and spread with sauce. Top with chicken, Stella® Mozzarella Cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and roasted garlic cloves.
  • Transfer pizza back to grill on indirect heat side. Close grill and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until toppings are warmed through and crust is fully cooked.
  • Remove pizza from grill and top with spinach. Cut and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner pizza. If you prefer a more flavorful pizza, you can use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces. Just be sure to remove the bones before serving.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to keep it moist and tender during grilling.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for grilled barbecue chicken pizza. Some popular options include mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, red onion, green peppers, and pineapple.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few of your favorite toppings so that the flavors can really shine through.
  • Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Grilled barbecue chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a fun and creative way to get your kids involved in the cooking process. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious grilled barbecue chicken pizza on the table in no time. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish!
