This is a compilation of several different bbq pizza recipes that I have tried, plus I've added a little personal touch of my own as well. Hint* The unused oil that's infused with all of that great garlic flavor and italian seasoning can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerater to be used later in the week for a pasta dish. I Hope you enjoy it. Ingredients:
12 inches prepared pizza crust (mama marys) |
1/2 lb chicken breast tenders (boneless, skinless) |
1/3-1/2 cup barbecue sauce (sweet baby rays) |
1/2 vidalia onion, diced |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons italian seasoning |
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded |
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a small sauce pan, combine 2 T olive oil, garlic and italian seasoning and simmer over medium low heat, stirring occasionally
3. Heat 2 T olive oil in a large skillet.
4. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow to cool.
6. In the same skillet add 2 T olive oil, onions and sugar and saute until onions are carmelized.
7. Lower the oven temperature to 425.
8. For a crispier crust, place the pizza crust in oven for 3 - 5 minutes before adding toppings (optional).
9. While the onions are sauteeing and the pizza is pre-baking, using your fingers, shred the chicken.
10. When the onions are carmelized, remove the skillet from the stove and add the shredded chicken to the onions.
11. Add enough of the bbq sauce to coat the chicken and onion mixture.
12. Over a bowl and using a small metal strainer, pour the olive oil, garlic and italian seasoning into the bowl.
13. Using the back of a spoon, scrape the bottom of the strainer, allowing some of the garlic paste to strain through into the bowl.
14. Spread a thin layer of the infused olive oil onto the pizza crust, using a pastry brush.
15. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the pizza crust.
16. Evenly spread the chicken and onion mixture over the BBQ sauce.
17. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
18. Place in oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
19. Enjoy!
