BARBEQUE CHICKEN GRILLED PIZZA



Barbeque Chicken Grilled Pizza image

Quick and easy for those summer cookouts. I often make as an appetizer while the ribs are cooking. Use whatever toppings you normally like on regular pizza, but the barbeque chicken is always a crowd pleaser! The dough never makes a perfect rectangle, but we have fun guessing what it looks like ('That looks like America!'). For the chicken, I use the grilled chicken pre-cooked at the store.

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Stella® Cheese

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 heads garlic, top of bulbs trimmed off so tops of cloves are exposed
1 ball pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
1 ½ cups cooked and pulled/chopped chicken
4 ounces Stella® Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
1 cup spinach leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wrap garlic heads in foil and place on small rimmed baking pan. Transfer to oven and cook 1 hour or until garlic is dark golden brown and very soft. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to touch. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skin into a small bowl.
  • Preheat grill for two-zone grilling: half of grill should be set to medium-high; other half should be off (indirect heat).
  • Stretch and shape dough into 14-inch circle and place on pizza pan or large tray. Brush one side of dough with 1 tablespoon oil. Use hands to transfer dough to direct heat side of grill, oiled side down. Do not worry if dough becomes a little misshapen during the transfer. Cook 2 minutes, or until the dough releases itself from the grates (do not disturb dough before it releases).
  • Brush top side of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then use tongs to flip dough. Cook 2 minutes or until dough releases from grates. Continue cooking dough 3 to 4 minutes longer or until dough is firm and grill-marked in all areas, flipping and rotating frequently but keeping grill closed when not flipping.
  • Remove dough from grill and spread with sauce. Top with chicken, Stella® Mozzarella Cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and roasted garlic cloves.
  • Transfer pizza back to grill on indirect heat side. Close grill and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until toppings are warmed through and crust is fully cooked.
  • Remove pizza from grill and top with spinach. Cut and serve immediately.

  • Be creative with your toppings: You can use anything from classic pepperoni and cheese to more unique toppings like grilled chicken, pesto, or roasted vegetables.
