Ingredients
1 whole Recipe For Pizza Crust
2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
½ cups Barbecue Sauce (I use Sticky Fingers brand Carolina Sweet sauce)
Olive Oil, For Drizzling
Salt For Sprinkling
16 ounces, weight Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Sliced Thinly
1 yellow onion
Chopped Cilantro, to taste
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Salt chicken breasts on both sides, then place in an ovenproof dish. Pour BBQ sauce over the breasts and turn them over to coat. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is done.
While chicken is cooking, slice up your onion and sautee in butter until caramelized. Then set aside.
When the chicken is done, remove from oven and shred. Set aside.
Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees.
Roll/stretch out one pizza crust. Lay it on a sheet pan drizzled with olive oil. Drizzle a little olive oil on the crust, then sprinkle on a little salt.
Spoon a couple of tablespoons of extra BBQ sauce on the crust and spread it evenly. Top sauce with the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle on the chicken and onions.
Sprinkle again with a little salt, then bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and toppings are bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle on plenty of chopped cilantro. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Repeat with other crust and other ingredients, or save for another time.
*This recipe is meant to make two pizzas (just like the pizza dough recipe is meant to make two crusts), however, I tend to use nearly all of the dough to make one big pizza on a sheet pan.
