Barbecued Chicken Pizzas Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Grill: 10 min.
  • Yield: 8 Servings
25 10 35

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
  • 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Gouda cheese
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Lightly brush both sides of dough with oil; place on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.
  • Remove from grill. Cut the chicken into 1/2-in. cubes. Spread the grilled side of each pizza with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce; layer with chicken, onion, cheese and cilantro. Return to grill. Cover and cook each pizza for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (4 pieces each).

I also used parsley instead of cilantro, and the pizza turned out great! My husband LOVED it! I couldn't quite wrap my head around how we were supposed to grill the pizza crust though, so we grilled the chicken according to the directions and then assembled the pizza and baked it in the oven at 425 for 15 minutes. Overall, it's a great recipe!

Everyone loved it! Didn't have cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. Great recipe!

The whole family loved it, which is saying something my kids are picky eaters. Definitely we will be making this again.
