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).

Delicious! I made it with a homeade crust, pizza cheese, and carmalized onion. Best pizza I've made!

Quite good, although I also used a premade refrigerated crust. Yummy combo of toppings. I will definitelty make this again.

GWM, If you shred the cheese yourself, use an 8 oz block. When you are done shredding, put in a measuring cup...you will have 2 cups. If you buy bags of shredded cheese, they will indicate both the ounces and cups on the bag for your convenience. Don't worry, in COOKING, measurements are generally approximate, meaning you can use certain items, like spices, to "taste", or how much or little of a flavor you like. For instance, some people like extra cheese on a pizza, some very little. However, in BAKING, your measurements must be exact. Baking is a chemical formula, if you will, and changing the amount of sugar, salt, or baking soda could negatively affect the outcome of your baked goods. With all that being said...good cooks constantly experiment and change their recipes to suit their tastes, what ingredients they have on hand, or just because they can!! Keep on asking good cooking questions, and enjoy the adventure!

gwm -for liquid measurements 8 oz = 1 cup, but that is not always true for other ingredients. 8 oz of shredded cheese = 2 cups.

gwm....perhaps the recipe listings meant that you need 2 (two) 8 oz. cups of cheese? It is a bit confusing. Seems to me that you can add how much or how little cheese you want.

Just a question. I'm pretty new to the baking/cooking world. I'm confused by the reference to needing 2 cups of cheese but it states (8 oz.) in the recipe. Is cheese measured differently, or should the recipe call for only 1 cup or should it be (16 oz.) of cheese?

We have been making this for years and we love it. We have also used boboli pizza crust and even pita bread. We add broccoli and use oregano rather than cilantro.

We had this for dinner tonight & I added turkey pepperoni on the pizza along w/a yellow pepper. I used a boboli pizza crust which made it a lot faster and easier. I am thinking about doing a mexican pizza next w/salasa, chicken and jalepenos... It was delicious....

Very good. Everyone loved it!

Excellent!! My kids like things a little blander, so I don't add the onions or cilantro. I brag about this pizza and pass the recipe around.
