BBQ Chicken Pizza ~ Hot out of the oven

Continuing with the 4th BBQ weekend. Instead of burgers and hotdogs, it's pizza! This is hot out of the oven...

 

Ingredients:

Homemade pizza dough

Grilled skinless bone-in chicken breast

Sweet hickory smoked barbeque sauce (Stubb's) - bottled sauce

Shredded Jack cheese

Fresh salsa

Green onions

 

When grilling the chicken breast, you can under cook it a little. This is to prevent it from being too dry or over-cooked when it is topped on the pizza and cooked again. The idea of grilling the chicken is to add the smokiness when it is used on the pizza. Glaze the chicken with the BBQ sauce at the last 5 minutes of grilling. Then let it cool before slicing.

 

Everyone has their own favorite homemade pizza dough recipe.We like thin crust pizzas. We have a couple of "go to" recipes, one from Art Smith which requires the dough to sit overnight in the fridge and the other one is from Kitchenaid. It's foolproof for us.

 

To assemble the pizza just spread the base with BBQ sauce then top with cheese, next add the chicken slices on top of the cheese. Then dollop spoonful of the fresh salsa, sprinkle a little more cheese over and bake in a preheated 425F oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the pizza is bubbly and the crust is nicely browned on the edge. Sprinkle with green onions as soon as the pizza is removed from the oven. Slice and serve immediately!

 

Enjoy
