UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA RECIPE
Ingredients
- 2 cups BBQ chicken chunks cooked
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing
- 1/2 pound prepared pizza dough , at room temperature
- 1/2 cup dark barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1 small onion thinly sliced or cubed
- 1 small green bell pepper thinly sliced
- jalapeno for topping (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Cut the chicken chunks into small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken chunks and sauté until the edges begin to brown, about 10 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 180 degrees C for at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, layout a sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil.
- Divide dough into two equal parts and transfer it onto a dry surface.
- Roll and shape the dough into a 9-inch triangle, stretching it with our hands as needed.
- Lightly brush the dough with olive oil.
- Spread about the 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over each pizza.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese atop the sauce.
- Top with cooked chicken chunks.
- For a pleasantly crisp touch, spread the uncooked onions and green bell pepper over the chicken mixture. If you prefer onions that are completely cooked, sauté them all with the chicken.
- Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese oregano and dried basil over them.
- Top with jalapoens.
- Bake the pizzas for about 15-18 minutes, until the crust(s) are golden and cheese melts and the topping is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, and cut into pieces.
- Unbelieveably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza is ready to serve.
- Garnish with snipped fresh basil, if desired.
- Serve warm or hot!
