I saw this recipe for a CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) BBQ chicken inpired pizza and was immediately salivating at the propect of eating it. Literally I could taste the crunch of the crust, sweetness of the bbq sauce and smell of bubbling mozzerella. Yum! I just had to make it!
The first time I made it I messed up on the pizza dough. I only had 2 cups of flour so I had to cut the recipe in half but for some reason that didn't really work out. I ended up creating a sort of flat pizza. Tasted ok, but I went back and did it again with the right amount of ingredients. I used this video to help me. Note: Make the dough about 2 hours before you make the pizza
You only need half the dough once you're finished to make the crust.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole Recipe For Pizza Crust
- 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce
- Olive Oil, For Drizzling
- Salt For Sprinkling
- 16 ounces, weight Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Sliced Thinly
- 1/2 whole Red Onion, Cut In Half And Sliced Very Thin
- Chopped Cilantro, to taste
Directions:
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. Remove from oven and cut into a fine dice. Set aside.
Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees.
Spoon a couple of tablespoons of extra BBQ sauce on the crust and spread it evenly. Top sauce with half the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle on half the diced chicken and thinly sliced red onion.
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
