BBQ Chicken Pizza

1 pizza crust
3 chicken breasts
1 1/3 cups barbecue sauce, divided
6 ounces Provolone cheese, grated
6 ounces Gouda cheese, grated (I just use mozzarella)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

In large ziploc bag, combine chicken and 2/3 cup of barbecue sauce. Marinate in fridge for 4 hours or overnight.

To cook, place Chicken and marinade in small baking dish and bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Let chicken cool, then slice into thin pieces.

Sprinkle half of the grated cheeses over crust. Spoon 2/3 cup barbecue sauce over cheese; cover with chicken and onion. Sprinkle on remaining cheese. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 450 degrees. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve. Makes 1 12" pizza.


Pizza Crust
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup cold water

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes. In mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, olive oil, honey and cold water. Add yeast mixture and knead with dough hook (or by hand) for 5 minutes. Form into ball and place in oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise about 1 hour. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a 12" round (I just put it all on a cookie sheet). Prebake crust for 10 minutes at 450 degrees before adding toppings. After topping pizza, bake again for 10 to 12 minutes.


*from "Favorites," everyone in my family loves this pizza!
