BBQ Chicken Pizza


Recipe found in Food Nanny Cookbook

Favorite Pizza dough
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet bbq sauce, divided
1/4 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
3 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 thinly sliced red onion
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)

1. Prepare the pizza dough and place it in an oiled pizza pan and set aside.
2. Grill or broil the chicken breasts* until barely done. Cut them into strips or chunks. Mix the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce.
3.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
4. To assemble the pizza, spread the remaining 1 cup of barbecue sauce over the pizza crust. Sprinkle with the Gouda cheese and top with 3 cups of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the chicken, green peppers and onions over the cheese. Top with the remaining 1/2 of mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes on the lowest oven rack. Remove pizza from oven and sprinkle with the cilantro. Return to oven and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Slice and serve.

note: *Instead of using grilled chicken, I have used a roasted chicken from Costco and de-boned it and cut it into chunks.
