BBQ Chicken Pizza

You will need:
  • A pizza crust. I bought a pre-made Boboli Pizza crust for convenience, but you can use whatever kind of crust you like. (They also make a thin crust version.) 
  • BBQ sauce (I used and highly recommend Hutches brand Hot BBQ sauce) 
  • Shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Red onion
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Fresh cilantro
  • 1 chicken breast (completely thawed for easy cutting)
Prep instructions:
  1. Start heating your oven so it's ready by the time you are done prepping. (Boboli was 425 deg, but follow instructions for whatever crust you are using.)
  2. Cut your chicken breast into small chunks. To do this, I cut the chicken long ways, then in half again to make two long pieces and then cut strips into small pieces.
  3. After cutting up the whole chicken breast into pieces, place in a pan with a little bit of water (about 1/4 cup. Just a little bit of water is needed to cook the chicken and keep it moist.) When the chicken is done, add some BBQ sauce to coat the chicken.
  4. To cook your mushrooms, you can use the same pan as the chicken. (after you have put the chicken onto the pizza. Don't cook the chicken and mushrooms together.) I used white mushrooms in the bag, but you can use any kind of mushrooms you like. I put about half of the bag into the pan with some BBQ sauce to coat them while cooking. Cook until mushrooms are tender, but still a little firm. (they will cook in the oven also.)
  5. Cut your red onion into thin slices, then into quarters to give you long thin pieces.
  6. Cut your fresh cilantro. Give it a few rough chops to break it up.
To assemble the pizza: 
  • Spread a layer of BBQ sauce on the crust
  • Sprinkle a generous layer of the Mexican cheese blend over the BBQ sauce
  • Place chicken pieces on top of the cheese layer
  • Add red onion to your liking (more or less onions)
  • Add your sauteed mushrooms
  • Sprinkle a thin layer of more cheese on top (This will help keep everything in place)
  • Cook in oven approx 10-12 minutes, or until crust is brown and cheese is melted.
  • Once you take the pizza out of the oven to cool, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
Your pizza is ready to eat! *Nom nom nom* :)
