BBQ Chicken Pizza

Pizza night!! You can easily swap out the chicken for shrimp. Eliminate the jalapeno slices for less heat, but trust me, they were a good touch. Brandon wanted more sauce, Taylor wanted less.... I liked it just as is. Great thing with this recipe is you can choose the amount you want for each topping. I use a pizza stone to cook my pizzas, but you could easily use a sheet pan.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Pizza Dough (store bought or make your own)
Olive Oil
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
BBQ Sauce
Shredded Cheese Blend (Mozzarella, Monterey Jack and Cheddar)
Thinly Sliced White Onions
Canned Whole Kernel Corn (drained)
1 Chopped Garlic Clove
Sliced Jarred Jalapeno Slices
Chopped Cilantro
Chopped Green Onion
Salt and Pepper for Seasoning

In a sauté pan, drizzle with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Coat chicken breast with BBQ sauce and season with salt and pepper. Sauté chicken until just about fully cooked. Wrap cooked chicken in foil and set aside to rest. While chicken is resting, slice onion, chop garlic, cilantro and green onions.

Chop chicken and place in a bowl and coat again with BBQ sauce.

Preheat pizza stone (if using a sheet pan, no need to preheat, just coat with olive oil). Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface. Place the rolled out pizza dough on the pizza stone or sheet pan. Spread a layer of BBQ sauce (you decide how much you would like). Sprinkle with cheese, chicken, onions, corn, jalapeno and garlic. Season with pepper. Bake for about 13 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit on pizza stone or sheet pan for about 5 minutes.

After resting, sprinkle with cilantro and green onions. Slice to the size you want and serve. (Do not slice until the pizza has rested for at least 5 minutes, otherwise you will have a mess and your slices will not be clean and neat).....Enjoy!!

Wine pairing......Merlot or Shiraz.
