BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA WITH SPICY SLAW

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 teaspoon instant or active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 red onions, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
One 18-ounce bottle barbecue sauce
1/4 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 head purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Olive oil, for oiling the pan and drizzling
Kosher salt, for sprinkling
Two 8-ounce balls mozzarella, sliced

Steps:

  • For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl. Let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture, add the pressed garlic and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a sticky mass. Divide the dough into 2 balls and put each one in a separate ziptop bag. Set the dough aside for 1 to 2 hours, or store in the fridge until you need it.
  • For the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear it on both sides until the skin is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the grease.
  • Add the onions and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the barbecue sauce and return the chicken to the pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is falling off the bone, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • When cool, use 2 forks to shred the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Skim off the excess fat from the top of the sauce and reserve.
  • For the slaw: While the chicken is cooking, combine the shredded cabbage and sliced jalapeno in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
  • For the pizza: When you are ready to make the pizza, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
  • Grab one of the balls of pizza dough (the recipe makes 2 crusts, so you can refrigerate or freeze the other ball of dough for another recipe) and squeeze the dough toward the bottom to form a nice, tight, pulled ball. You can roll out the pizza with a rolling pin if you'd like, but sometimes it's just as easy to throw it around and pull and stretch until it feels right.
  • When the crust is nice and thin, lay it on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil on the dough and spread it with your fingers. Very lightly sprinkle some salt on top. Spread the reserved barbecue sauce and onion mixture over the crust, then cover with the mozzarella slices followed by the shredded chicken. Bake on the bottom rack until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir the cilantro into the slaw. Top the pizza with the slaw, cut into pieces and serve.

SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 cups (about 1 pound) skinned, boned and cubed chicken
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons chopped jalapeno pepper
Pinch chopped cilantro
Salt
Pizza dough, recipe follows
3 cups grated mozzarella
2 cups grated fontina
1 pound (about 6) plum tomatoes, ends removed and cut into thin slices
1/2 cup eggplant, cubed and sauteed or grilled
1/2 cup onion, sliced, grilled and chopped
Chopped chives, for garnish
4 teaspoons Parmesan, grated
1 package active dry or fresh yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional, for brushing

Steps:

  • Arrange the cubed chicken in a medium bowl and toss with 1/2 cup olive oil, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro. Season lightly with salt. Let marinate for about 1 hour, refrigerated.
  • In a skillet large enough to hold all of the chicken in 1 layer, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Saute the chicken just to brown on all sides.
  • Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F. Brush the rolled out pizza dough lightly with oil and top the pizza dough with the mozzarella, fontina, plum tomatoes, eggplant, onion, chives, Parmesan, and chicken. Place on the pizza stone and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4-cup warm water.
  • In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and mix on low speed until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes. (The pizza dough can also be made in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse once or twice, add the remaining ingredients, and process until the dough begins to form a ball).
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
  • Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • To prepare each pizza, dip the ball of dough into flour, shake off the excess flour, place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface, and start to stretch the dough. Press down on the center, spreading the dough into an 8-inch circle, with the outer border a little thicker than the inner circle. If you find this difficult to do, use a small rolling pin to roll out the dough.
  • Yield: 8 servings

SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA



Spicy Chicken Pizza image

People either seem to love or hate this recipe. I, personally, love it!! I also think it would make a nice baked chicken ... though, I haven't tried that yet. Using low-sodium soy sauce has been asked of me ... it can be salty.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken, diced
1 cup sliced green onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 pizza crust

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients 2-6 into a marinade.
  • Stir in chicken and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Drain and save marinade.
  • Cook chicken in a frying pan until done.
  • Stir cornstarch into marinade.
  • Add marinade to chicken and cook until thick and bubbly. About 2 minutes.
  • Add a small amount of water to make mixture less thick and easier to spread.
  • Spoon onto a 12" pizza crust. You can use the pizza dough balls from the store, or make your own in your bread machine. I like to do this and add garlic and Parmesan cheese to the dough.
  • I like to prebake my crust for about 10 minutes. It seems to make the finished product less doughy.
  • Add cheese.
  • Cook at 400°F for 20 minutes.
  • After removing from oven, sprinkle top with additional green onion, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality olive oil to ensure the best flavor.
  • Choose a ripe and flavorful pumpkin for the best results.
  • If you don't have any chicken broth, you can use vegetable broth instead.
  • Add more or less chili flakes depending on your desired level of spice.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pizza.
  • Keep an eye on the pizza while it's baking to make sure it doesn't burn.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
