  • 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'd like to give this 3 1/2 stars. It was good and I would make it again for a change of pace. It probably really depends on which barbecue sauce you use. I'd like to experiment with different ones.

Very quick and easy. I tweaked a few things and used pre-cooked chicken chunks but it was simple and fun to eat.

My whole family loved this pizza! I didn't have the time to grill so I did what others suggested--I baked it in the oven (1 pizza, not 2). I spread the entire dough out in rectang. shape on cookie sheet, spread olive oil over it, added all ingredients in order, baked it for 15 min. @ 425. Substituted parsley, oregano & basil for cilantro. Fed our family of 4--definitely make it again!

This was very good! I didn't use the grill to cook the crust, instead the oven at 400 degrees. Beale crust for about 6 min. then put all the toppings on the crust, baked it for another 6-8 minutes. My husband loved it, will definitely make this again .

This was so easy to prepare and my family loved it. The Gouda gave it a wonderful flavor.

My entire family loved this pizza! I used squares of tin foil to grill the pizza crust on so it didn't stick to the grill and it worked out wonderfully. One of my favorite summer go to's!

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.
