Steps:
- For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl. Let stand for a few minutes.
- In a mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture, add the pressed garlic and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a sticky mass. Divide the dough into 2 balls and put each one in a separate ziptop bag. Set the dough aside for 1 to 2 hours, or store in the fridge until you need it.
- For the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear it on both sides until the skin is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the grease.
- Add the onions and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the barbecue sauce and return the chicken to the pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is falling off the bone, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- When cool, use 2 forks to shred the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Skim off the excess fat from the top of the sauce and reserve.
- For the slaw: While the chicken is cooking, combine the shredded cabbage and sliced jalapeno in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
- For the pizza: When you are ready to make the pizza, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
- Grab one of the balls of pizza dough (the recipe makes 2 crusts, so you can refrigerate or freeze the other ball of dough for another recipe) and squeeze the dough toward the bottom to form a nice, tight, pulled ball. You can roll out the pizza with a rolling pin if you'd like, but sometimes it's just as easy to throw it around and pull and stretch until it feels right.
- When the crust is nice and thin, lay it on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil on the dough and spread it with your fingers. Very lightly sprinkle some salt on top. Spread the reserved barbecue sauce and onion mixture over the crust, then cover with the mozzarella slices followed by the shredded chicken. Bake on the bottom rack until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Stir the cilantro into the slaw. Top the pizza with the slaw, cut into pieces and serve.
SPICY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
Sadly, I cannot take credit for this pizza. It's from Sam the Cooking Guy. The spicy chili sauce really makes this pizza pop. You can omit the chili sauce if you don't care for spicy food, but I really suggest trying it. I also drizzled a little more plain bbq sauce to the pizza before topping with mozzarella to make it even more saucy. We made this last night and absolutely loved it.

SPICY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
BEWARE: The hot sauce makes this recipe VERY spicy - Please use oil if you are unable to tolerate spicy foods. Don't hate me because I like super duper easy recipes. This one uses a prepared crust, but it is delicious!

Steps:
- 1. Dice chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. In medium skillet, warm the hot sauce (or oil) over medium heat. Add chicken, stirring frequently.
- 2. While chicken is cooking, place Boboli crust on pizza pan and top with barbeque sauce.
- 3. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, drain excess sauce (or oil) from the chicken and put it on top of the barbeque sauce. Top with cheese. Cook at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- 4. FOR A LESS SPICY RECIPE, use oil instead of hot sauce to cook the chicken. The hot sauce definitely adds a significant amount of heat to the pizza.
SPICY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
Steps:
- Preheat oven according to Boboli instructions. Lightly spray crust with olive oil. Toss onions and vegetables with salt and pepper and grill for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender and set aside. Grill chicken breasts approx. 6 minutes on your inside grill. While chicken is cooking, spread BBQ sauce onto crust(s), add grilled onions and vegetables then top with cheddar cheese. Remove chicken from grill and coarsley chop. Spread diced chicken over pizza and top with mozzerella cheese. Pop it in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes, or until cheese is evenly melted and crust becomes golden. Slice and serve!
Tips:
- For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet to bake the pizza. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and create a crispy crust.
- If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can use a greased baking pan.
- To make sure the pizza is cooked through, bake it until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- If you like your pizza extra crispy, you can broil it for a few minutes at the end of the baking time.
- Toppings can be added before or after baking, depending on your preference.
- For a more flavorful pizza, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made pizza dough or sauce.
- Have fun and experiment with different toppings and flavors to create your own unique pizza.

Spicy BBQ chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
