BBQ CHICKEN AND BACON PIZZA RECIPE



BBQ Chicken and Bacon Pizza Recipe image

Provided by Shawn Williams

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

18-20 ounces pizza dough
1 8 ounce chicken breast cut into bite-sized chunks (fully cooked)
6-7 1/4 inch slices fresh mozzarella (8-ounce ball)
3-4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/3 cup flour (for crust)
2 tablespoons butter
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F and place the pizza stone in the oven and let preheat for one hour.
  • Add the onion slices and butter to a saucepan on low heat. Cook until onions are tender and golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Cook with a little oil on medium heat in the same saucepan used for the onions. Cook until golden and fully cooked through, remove from the heat, and toss with some BBQ sauce until lightly coated. Set aside.
  • Roll out the dough into a 12-inch crust. Sprinkle evenly with a little salt.
  • Place a small handful of flour onto the pizza peel and spread evenly to prevent the dough from sticking to the pizza peel. Make sure the dough is well floured and doesn't feel 'sticky' to the touch.
  • Transfer the dough onto the peel. Evenly coat the top with BBQ sauce, leaving a 1-inch crust. Add the chicken, onions, bacon, and fresh mozzarella in that order. Finish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  • Slide the finished pizza onto the pizza stone and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Be sure to carefully watch the oven because all ovens will cook at different rates. Sometimes it will only take 10 minutes to fully cook. Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve.

Barbeque Bacon Chicken Bake image

Easy-to-make chicken with a little variation. Great on the grill but just as good baked in the oven when you can't grill out.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

cooking spray
8 slices bacon
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¾ cup barbeque sauce (such as Cattlemen's® or Jack Daniel's®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the edges begin to crisp, about 5 minutes; drain bacon on paper towels. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon in an x-shaped pattern and place into the prepared baking sheet with bacon ends underneath.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; spread barbeque sauce over chicken breasts and bake until the juices run clear, the chicken is no longer pink inside, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 10 to 15 more minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat it in the oven before adding the pizza.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature for a short time. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming dry and tough.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the toppings from falling off.

Conclusion:

This BBQ chicken, bacon, and gorgonzola pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its smoky BBQ sauce, crispy bacon, and gooey gorgonzola cheese, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this pizza a try.
