Looking for an incredible pizza recipe? Here’s a delicious, fun and easy-to-make pizza. Use some leftover chicken from dinner to re-purpose and create a whole new meal.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 1/2 cups water
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cups flour
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp instant yeast
For the BBQ Sauce:
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter
½ cup corn syrup
½ cup water
1 cup diced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups prepared bbq sauce
For the Toppings:
4 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 onion, sliced
Shredded cheese, your choice
Instructions
1
To make the dough, add the water, olive oil, flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast into the bowl of your mixer. Mix/knead for 10 minutes. Spray the dough with vegetable spray and cover. Allow to double in size (couple of hours).
2
Divide the dough into 2 portions and roll each portion into a round pizza (about 16-18 inches round).
3
To make the BBQ sauce, In a large sauce pan combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until the mixture reach soft ball stage.
4
Add remaining ingredients (diced onions, garlic, bbq sauce) and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
5
To assemble the pizza, preheat your oven to 500 degrees (let the oven preheat for 30 minutes). I preheat my baking stone with the oven. On a floured work surface, roll half of the pizza dough into a pizza round about 16-18 inches.
6
Transfer the rolled out pizza dough to a flour pizza peel (this makes it easier to transfer to the oven).
7
Spread about 1 cup of the prepared bbq sauce all over the prepared pizza dough. Spinkle with about 2 cups of shredded cheese and top with about 2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken and half of the sliced onion. Sprinkle with more shredded cheese (about 2 cups).
8
Transfer the prepared bbq chicken pizza to your preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
9
Remove from the oven, slice and serve!
