BBQ Chicken Pizza

10 oz. boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. favorite BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s, is AWESOME)
Thin Crust Dough (Raw store bought dough is fine.)
Cornmeal, semolina, or flour (just for handling the dough)
1/2 cup favorite BBQ sauce (a spicy?sweet sauce works best)
2 Tbs. shredded smoked Gouda cheese
1/2cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 small red onion, sliced into 1/8?inch pieces
2 Tbs. chopped fresh chopped fresh cilantro

 

Preheat pizza stone for approx’ one hour at 500.  (No stone?  Go buy one, or use a cookie sheet, no preheat needed)
In a large frying pan, cook the chicken in olive oil over medium?high heat until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes.

Don’t overcook chicken!  It will get dried out and tough, and that’s just gross.
Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled through.

Once chilled, coat the chicken with 2 Tbs. BBQ sauce; set aside in the refrigerator.

Assemble your Pizza:
Use a large spoon to spread 1/4 cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of your dough ’bout 1/2″ from the edge.       Sprinkle 1 Tbs. smoked Gouda cheese over the sauce.                                                                                                                 Cover with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.
Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese (approximately 18 pieces).                                                            Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface.                                                                                            Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes.                                                                                                                                                                                                  When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 Tbs. cilantro over the hot surface.

Slice and serve.  BBQ Chicken Pizza is the new craze, you go to a restaurant or order take-out your looking at 10-15 bucks.  You can make this for like $2.50, (OK maybe $5).  Also, yours is going to taste better, and be better for you, ’cause you control the ingredients.  Don’t go out to eat, it’s much cooler to eat in and prepare yourself and good healthy meal.  As always, change as you like, but let me know what you did in a post.  Doug-
