BBQ Chicken Pizza
- 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 3/4 cups Barbeque Sauce (I Use Sweet Baby Ray's)
- 3- 3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 3/4 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 Small Red Onion, Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Cilantro
- Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper, To Taste
- Note: This dough requires overnight proofing so make sure and plan ahead.
- You can make your chicken ahead of time too.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Season chicken thighs with pinches of salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken, with the lid on, for 15 minutes, turning thighs over once halfway through.
- Then lift the cover and brush chicken on both sides with two tablespoons of barbeque sauce.
- Grill uncovered for another 5 minutes, turning several times.
- Remove from grill and let chicken cool.
- When chicken is cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Add flour, salt and yeast into a large bowl.
- Mix to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Add water and mix using your hands, until a rough ball forms.
- The dough will not be smooth and elastic like typical pizza dough.
- This is okay.
- Place dough in a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let it rest at room temperature for at least 18 hours.
- Note: After 24 hours, remove dough from bowl and refrigerate for up to 3 days, if not using immediately.
- When ready to make pizza, place pizza stone (if using) in oven and preheat to 450 F. Let dough come up to room temperature while oven is preheating.
- Chop reserved barbeque chicken into bite-size pieces.
- Stretch dough onto a lightly floured pizza peel or inverted baking sheet (if using a pizza stone).
- Or stretch it to fit your pizza pan.
- Spread out 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce onto dough.
- Top with chicken, cheeses and sliced onions.
- Slide pizza onto the hot pizza stone, if using.
- Bake for 15 17 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and garnish with cilantro.
- Let pizza rest 3 5 minutes before slicing.
