BBQ Chicken Pizza

One of my favorite summer pizzas is good ole' BBQ Chicken. This garlic-seasoned crust and rich BBQ flavor, with just a bite of red onion, give this pizza a lot of flavor!

Pizza Crust:

          2 cups warm water 

          2 T olive oil

          5 tsp. yeast

          1 T sugar

     -Combine above ingredients, then allow to rest until mixture bubbles.

          2 tsp. salt

          4 1/2 - 5 cups all-purpose flour

     -Add remaining ingredients until dough is not too sticky.

     -Bake at 375 degrees for 4 minutes before adding pizza toppings.

Garlic Seasoning for Crust:

          2 T butter, melted

          2 tsp. garlic salt with parsley (personal favorite is Lawry's)

          3 T Parmesan cheese, grated

      -Combine and spread on outside edge of pizza crust (about 1")

 

BBQ Chicken & Assembly:

           2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

           BBQ sauce (one of my favorites is Sweet Baby Ray's)

      -Grill chicken and sauce in skillet until cooked through.

      -Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce and some additional bbq sauce on pizza crust.

      -Sprinkle a generous portion of Italian Cheeses (Parmesan, Mozzarella, Asiago), then add cooked chicken.

      -Top with sliced red onions and I usually add cilantro for a unique flavor (delish!)   

Bake assembled pizza at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly!
