BBQ Chicken Pizza

These days I haven't felt much like cooking.  But being pregnant and all eating is VERY important and so I've had to find ideas and inspiration on figuring out what's for dinner ... usually I head over to pinterest.  Today I thought perhaps I would make a pizza from my pizza board on pinterest.

I came across this bbq chicken pizza and thought that sounded really good.  I decided to go the extra mile and make my own crust, too.  Homemade pizza crust is just so yummy!  I took a trip to the store and got all I needed and was ready to go.  So after a nap, I tackled dinner ... well, once I got to the barbeque sauce part of the recipe, I realize that I had a problem.  My America bought sauces were ... ahem ... quite expired ... BUT thankfully the recipe I was following had a recipe on there!  Phew!  And I could get all the ingredients {here another sigh of relief}! However, I did have to make one more store run - which thankfully is NOT far away, just a hassle and not something I wanted to do at 5:20 pm, when the masses go shopping (I'm not kidding!). 

Pizza Dough
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon oil
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir together the water, yeast and sugar until foamy.  Mix in remaining ingredients.  Put a small amount of oil in a bowl or stone or baking sheet.  Roll the dough in the oil, cover with plastic wrap (if you want) and let rise for 10 minutes or until larger in size.  Roll out the dough on the stone or baking sheet.  Sprinkle with a clover of minced garlic and pre-bake at 425°F/220°C for 3 minutes. 

BBQ Sauce
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chile sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic
1 teaspoon ground mustard
fresh ground pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan, mix well and let simmer over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool, place in a glass container and refrigerate until ready to use. {makes approximately enough for two pizzas - so the website says, but it made so much more!}

BBQ Chicken Pizza
2 boneless chicken breasts; cooked and chopped
bbq sauce
shredded mozzarellaonions
fresh cilantro

Coat the chicken well with the bbq sauce and put on prebaked pizza crust.  I tried to add some extra bbq sauce, since I have so much of it.  Sprinkle with chopped onions and shredded mozzarella.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.  After it's done, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.

 

You won't regret making it!!  It was super tasty!
