BBQ Chicken Pizza


Oscar loves any kind of pizza, Joes Pizza especially, but BBQ Chicken Pizza is one of our favorites. I am not crazy about Telepizza or Pizzahut, our only options here for take-out pizza, so I brought back an old recipe I used to make in college. It is one of Oscar´s favorites and a great option for a super simple supper.

1 package ready pizza dough
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, diced
1 cup shredded colby-jack cheese
1/4 red onion, sliced
1/4 cup corn
2 tblsp chopped cliantro
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 350º (or whatever temperature indicated on the pizza dough package)

In a small skillet over high heat, sauté chicken in a little olive oil. Don´t move the chicken until it starts to brown on bottom then shake the skillet every so often to brown on all sides (about 5 min). Salt and pepper to taste then add 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. Set aside.

Follow directions on pizza dough package. Some ask you to brown the dough first in the oven before adding toppings, others don´t. Then top dough with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce (add more if needed), chicken, red onion, corn, cliantro and cheese. Bake for about 20 min until cheese browns and bubbles.
