BBQ Chicken Pizza
- 12 inches prepared pizza crust (Mama Marys)
- 12 lb chicken breast tenders (boneless, skinless)
- 13-12 cup barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Rays)
- 12 vidalia onion, diced
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a small sauce pan, combine 2 T olive oil, garlic and italian seasoning and simmer over medium low heat, stirring occasionally
- Heat 2 T olive oil in a large skillet.
- Add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow to cool.
- In the same skillet add 2 T olive oil, onions and sugar and saute until onions are carmelized.
- Lower the oven temperature to 425.
- For a crispier crust, place the pizza crust in oven for 3 - 5 minutes before adding toppings (optional).
- While the onions are sauteeing and the pizza is pre-baking, using your fingers, shred the chicken.
- When the onions are carmelized, remove the skillet from the stove and add the shredded chicken to the onions.
- Add enough of the bbq sauce to coat the chicken and onion mixture.
- Over a bowl and using a small metal strainer, pour the olive oil, garlic and italian seasoning into the bowl.
- Using the back of a spoon, scrape the bottom of the strainer, allowing some of the garlic "paste" to strain through into the bowl.
- Spread a thin layer of the infused olive oil onto the pizza crust, using a pastry brush.
- Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the pizza crust.
- Evenly spread the chicken and onion mixture over the BBQ sauce.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
- Place in oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
- Enjoy!
