BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
Steps:
- For the chicken and rub: Butterfly the chicken breast halves. Combine the paprika, brown gsugar, granulated garlic, granulated onion, cumin, salt, chili powder and pepper in a resealable plastic bag and shake well to mix everything together. Add the chicken breasts and shake again to coat them evenly. Set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to marinate while you prepare everything else.
- Preheat a grill to high heat.
- For the BBQ sauce: Take the dried chiles, tear them up, discard the stems and seeds and place in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over them and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to re-hydrate. Drain and discard the water.
- In a medium saucepan, add the canola oil, onions and garlic. Sweat over medium heat until the onions are very soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chiles and bourbon and simmer for 1 minute to let some of the alcohol burn off. Add the ketchup, preserves, brown sugar and molasses and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors come together. Puree and set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on the hot grill, 5 to 7 minutes per side to get some color. Remove and allow to cool. Slice on the bias into pieces.
- For the pizza. Dust a bench (or pizza peel if you have one) liberally with flour. Take the ball of pizza dough and press out into a disk, working it gently from the inside out. Continue to work and stretch the dough out until you have about a 12-inch circle. The crust should be nice and thin, about 1/8-inch thick. Set on a floured surface and press gently to flatten. Spread the BBQ sauce on the pizza in a very even, thin layer. Leave a border as desired around the edges. Top with the shaved red onion, slices of BBQ chicken and slices of cheese. Dot the top with extra patches of BBQ sauce. Slide the pizza into a hot pizza oven and bake until the crust is bubbly and charred around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. (If baking at home, set a pizza stone in an oven at 500 degrees F to warm up for 1 hour).
- When done, remove from the oven and scatter the top with fresh cilantro leaves.

Because tomato sauce upsets my stomach I can not have traditional pizza. Its hard to find a good frozen pizza that does not use tomato based sauce. So I made my own. My husband thought it was the best pizza he ever had. As with all recipes, you can adjust to your own preferences.

BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA
This simple recipe celebrates a 1980s classic invented by the American pizza genius Ed LaDou (whose fingerprints are also on Wolfgang Puck's famous smoked-salmon pizza). The pizza matches the flavors of chicken with barbecue sauce, red onion, two kinds of cheese and a little cilantro. Use homemade dough and barbecue sauce, cook it in the hottest setting of your oven, and the classic pie goes from good to great. Want to make the recipe vegetarian? Simply substitute mushrooms for the chicken and sauté until most of their moisture is evaporated.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 500. Season the chicken with salt, and heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Toss the chicken into hot oil, and cook for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until you no longer see any pink. Add 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, and stir well, then set aside off the heat.
- Working on two separate pieces of parchment paper, use your hands to stretch the 2 balls of dough into 2 rough circles, about 12 inches in diameter. Slide each piece of parchment paper onto a baking tray, and finish assembling pizza there: Drizzle with remaining olive oil, spread with remaining barbecue sauce, then evenly divide the mozzarella all over. Top with chicken pieces, red onion and finally Gouda.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until dough is cooked through and edges of the onion and cheese are just starting to color. Once the pizza is slightly cooled, season with salt and pepper and scatter with cilantro.
Tips:
- Use a pre-made pizza crust to save time. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pizza crust from the store. Just be sure to choose a crust that is thin and crispy, so it can hold up to the toppings.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly. Chicken is a great source of protein, but it's important to cook it thoroughly to avoid foodborne illness. Make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you add it to the pizza.
- Use a variety of toppings. The great thing about BBQ chicken pizza is that you can use a variety of toppings to create your own unique flavor profile. Some popular toppings include red onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and bacon. You can also add a drizzle of BBQ sauce or ranch dressing before serving.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown. The pizza is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
Conclusion:
BBQ chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a casual get-together or a family dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give BBQ chicken pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
