Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups of flour
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
I cup of water
1 packet of yeast
Boneless chicken breasts
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
BBQ Sauce
Tomato Sauce
Oregano
Arugula

Steps:

  • Basic Pizza Dough In a bowl or mix master add the flour, oil, salt, dissolve the yeast in the water and then add to the bowl. Once everything is combined, form the dough into a ball and put it in a bowl, cover with a towel and let rise for about an hour or two. Chicken and Arugula Topping Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let it rest, once it is cool shred the chicken and set aside. Step 2: Wash and dry a bunch of arugula. In a bowl add your favorite bbq sauce, a little tomato sauce, oregano, and salt and pepper. Step 3: Roll out the dough into personal pies, or one large round pie -which ever you prefer. Dust both sides with a little flour, and then transfer to a tray. Take a paper towel and dip it in oil, then oil the bbq grates. Put the pizza dough on the fire; grill each side for about 1-2 minutes. The pizza dough cooks really fast on the grill, if you like your dough soft don't leave it on for too long because it gets crispy very fast. Take the pizza dough off the fire and add the sauce and some shredded chicken on top. Put the pizza back on the grill and turn the heat down to low, close the bbq and let heat for another 2 minutes. Top with arugula! Add a drizzle of truffle oil, or even basil or garlic oil!

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (12-ounce) NY strip steak
Canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pizza
1/2 recipe Pizza Dough rolled into 2 (10-inch) rounds, recipe follows or 2 store-bought pizza dough
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (recommended: Cabrales)
Grilled steak
1 bunch watercress, coarsely chopped
Balsamic Glaze
Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
2/3 cup lukewarm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for oiling bowl
1 3/4 to 2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
1/4 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • For the glaze:
  • Bring vinegar to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in the honey and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For the steak:
  • Heat grill to high. Brush steak on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill to a cutting board, tent lightly with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • For the pizza:
  • Heat the grill to high.
  • Brush both sides of the pizzas with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, divide the Monterey Jack cheese over the top of each one and then sprinkle with the blue cheese. Place back on the grill, close the cover of the grill and grill until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Remove to a flat surface, divide the steak between each pizza, then top with the watercress Drizzle with some of the balsamic glaze and sprinkle with some of the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • In a large bowl stir together 1/3 cup water, yeast, and sugar and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 3/4 cups flour, cornmeal, and salt and blend until the mixture forms a dough. Knead dough on a floured surface, incorporating as much of remaining 1/4 cup flour, as necessary, to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth about 5 to 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball.
  • Lightly oil the sides and bottom of a large bowl with oil, add the dough, turn to coat in the oil, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Gently punch the dough down and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle that is 1/8-inch thick. Brush off excess flour and transfer the dough to a baking sheet, cover each circle of dough with plastic wrap and continue stacking rolled out pieces on top of each other. Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.

Tips:

  • Prepare the dough in advance: You can make the dough up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you want to make the pizza.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: A pizza stone will help to give your pizza a crispy crust. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet, but the crust will not be as crispy.
  • Preheat the oven to a high temperature: The higher the temperature, the crispier the crust will be. For best results, preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pizza will be. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese, and choose a high-quality olive oil.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings that you love.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken arugula blue cheese pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. With a crispy crust, tender chicken, and flavorful toppings, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this grilled chicken arugula blue cheese pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
