*Makes two small pizzas
Ingredients for toppings:
2 bags precooked Tyson chicken strips (cut into ¼ inch cubes)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. favorite BBQ sauce (I use a spicy-sweet sauce)
Ingredients for dough:
1 basic pizza dough (cut in half to make two small pizzas)
Cornmeal, semolina, or flour for handling
1/2 c. favorite BBQ sauce (I use a spicy-sweet sauce)
2 tbsp. shredded smoked Gouda cheese
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. small red-onion, thinly chopped
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Before prepping to make pizza, immediately preheat oven to 500. Place a pizza stone or pan in while preheating. Oven should be preheated for a good deal of time before baking.
For dough, use a large spoon to spread 1/4 cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of smoked Gouda cheese over the sauce. Cover with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.
Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese. Place pieces of red onion over the surface. Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly (about 8 to 10 minutes). When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 tablespoon cilantro over the hot surface. Slice and serve.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients for a second pizza. (The two pizzas may be prepared simultaneously if you are careful in placing the pizzas at opposite corners of your pizza stone.)
