BBQ Chicken Pizza

We try to grill-out frequently during the summer, as our house can get so warm and muggy this time of year.  This is one of our favorite weeknight dishes.



BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:
  • 1 pizza dough recipe (this one is awesome)
  • 1/2 cup barbeque sauce (KC Masterpiece works great for grilling)
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • Pinch of dried parsley
Directions:
  1. Make your favorite pizza dough. Typically you'll want to split your dough in half and make two smaller pizzas, as smaller crusts are a bit easier to work with on the grill. 
  2. Roll your pizza dough into a thin circle, and liberally spread olive oil on top of it. 
  3. Place the rolled-out pizza dough on the grill, oiled side down (this prevents it from sticking).
  4. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until light grill marks start to appear.*
  5. Remove the pizza crust, and place it grilled-side up onto a greased cookie sheet (you'll be placing the toppings on top of the grilled side).  
  6. Layer barbeque sauce, chicken, cheese, and parsley.
  7. Return pizza to grill and finish cooking, about 2-3 minutes or until grill marks start to form on the bottom of the crust.*
*Hint:  Sometimes, the dough will get the grill marks quickly, but may not be fully cooked inside.  For this reason, I make sort of a grid pattern on the dough -- place dough on the grill for 2 or 3 minutes, and then move the dough 180 degrees for another 2-3 minutes.
