Barbecue Chicken Pizza
This and beer was what my son, Michael, requested for his birthday dinner this year. I got off really easy. This pizza combo was fairly alien to me as I had only had it once before from a take out joint and it was positively horrible! I was not at all excited about concocting this for him but like any good mom I persevered. I had homemade pizza dough in the freezer already so that made things quite simple. It was a decent dough recipe but it wasn't the definitive one I'm looking for so I don't want to post it here. Just use whatever your favorite is. If you have leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken from the market this is even faster to make. I have to admit that it turned out delicious and the more you ate the better it was to the point that we were struggling over who was going to have the last piece!Yep, it was THAT good!
Recipe: Dani's Barbecue Chicken Pizza
(Makes 2 12-14" pizzas)
Ingredients:
Your favorite pizza dough
A bottle of barbecue sauce
(use a dark, sweet brand as opposed to a more tomato based sauce)
4-5 cups diced, cooked chicken
1/2 a large red onion, thinly sliced
1 lb. mozzarella cheese, sliced (Jack cheese would be even better if you have it)
1 cup cilantro, chopped
1 cup green onion tops, sliced
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees.
If you have a pizza stone pre-heat that in the oven as well.
Roll out the dough for one pizza. Place dough onto a cornmeal dusted pizza peel or pizza pan. Spread as much or as little bbq sauce as you like over the dough. Top with the diced chicken then the red onion then the cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted, golden-brown and bubbly. Remove pizza from oven and top with the cilantro and green onions. While the first pizza is in the oven you can assemble the second pizza so it's ready to go. Enjoy!
