Provided by Stella Cheese

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.

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     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup chopped cooked chicken
½ cup barbeque sauce, divided
1 (13.8 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup diced tomatoes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix chicken and 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce together in a bowl until evenly coated.
  • Roll dough onto a work surface and cut in half to form 2 rectangles. Brush the top of each rectangle with olive oil.
  • Place dough, oil-side down, onto the grill; cook until bottom of dough is browned and top is bubbling up, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of each dough with oil and flip.
  • Spread the remaining barbeque sauce over each crust; top with chicken, Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, and tomatoes.
  • Close the lid of the grill and cook pizza until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pizza from grill and cool before slicing, 2 to 3 minutes.

1 lb chipotle-lime marinaded boneless skinless chicken breasts (around 4)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 red onion, sliced into rings
1 bell pepper, sliced into strips
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 c raspberry chipotle sauce, your favorite brand
pizza dough, (your fave) you'll need around 10 small balls

  • 6. Remove from heat and let rest 10 min; then slice into strips.
  • 7. While chicken is resting drizzle olive oil over the sliced veggies and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spoon vegetables into a large piece of tin foil. Bring up foil sides, double fold top and ends to seal creating a foil pack.
  • 8. Grill 6-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Set aside.
  • 9. Divide your dough out so you have 10 3" round balls.(You may have extra dough depending on what recipe you use.) Lightly dust with flour and cover with a kitchen towel until your ready to use.
  • 10. Take one ball of dough and lightly press with your fingertips to make a small circle. Next, stretch the dough gently into a long log shape about 6" in length.
  • 11. To put the rolls together take about a tablespoon of the raspberry chipotle sauce and spread the length of the dough.
  • 12. Next, take a few peppers and onions and pieces of chicken and place in the middle of the dough. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese.

  • 15. Place on grill and cook until grill marks form and the roll is easily moveable.
  • 16. Grill on all sides turning 1/4 turns until cooked through.
  • 17. (If your grill has a widespread grate you may want to start with the rolls on a pizza pan on the grill to form a bottom crust and then finish them off directly on the grill.)

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality pizza dough: This will make a big difference in the final product. If you can, make your own dough at home. Otherwise, look for a good quality store-bought dough.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few simple, flavorful ingredients.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust. If you have a pizza stone, use it. Otherwise, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible.
  • Watch the pizza closely while it cooks: Pizzas can burn quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. If the crust starts to get too dark, remove the pizza from the oven.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to prevent the cheese and toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken pizza is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend lunch. With a few simple tips, you can make a grilled chicken pizza that's sure to impress your friends and family. So fire up your grill and start cooking!
