Week 6: Recipe #4--BBQ Chicken Pizza

I found this on the Food Network website a year or so ago, and have used it a few times.  It's a quick and easy pizza to make, and it's a nice departure from pepperoni.  I usually serve this with a side salad.

You'll Need:

  • 2 Tblsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 pound chicken tenders
  • 2/3 cup barbecue sauce (they recommended Bullseye Original, and that's what I've used)
  • flour, for dusting surface
  • 1 13.8 oz pkg pizza dough (they recommended Pillsbury Classic, and I've also used that)
  • 3/4 cup shredded gouda
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 3/4 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 Tblsp. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 400.  
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.  Add chicken tenders and saute until golden brown, about 12 minutes.  Remove from heat.  When chicken is cool enough to handle, dice chicken to yield a little over 1 cup.  In a small bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.  Set aside.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out dough and place on a greased sheet pan.  Shape to fill the sheet pan, about a 15 by 10-inch rectangle.  Spread remaining barbecue sauce evenly over pizza dough.  Sprinkle gouda, mozzarella, parmesan, onions, and chicken over top.  Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese bubbles.  
  4. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and cut into pieces.
  5. Enjoy!
