Recipe by Lynn Wise

Makes 1 large pizza

Ingredients:

Pizza dough for 1 large pizza (storebought or homemade such as mine)

2 cups cooked chicken breasts, cubed

3/4 cup your favorite BBQ sauce; divided

2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese blend

1/2 small red onion, sliced or diced

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (a must!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425*. 

Prepare your pizza dough if making from scratch (this can be done up to 24 hours in advance). Roll pizza dough out on a baking stone or baking sheet that has been dusted with flour or cornmeal. 

Toss cubed chicken with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Spread remaining BBQ sauce over pizza dough. Top with chicken, onions, and cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with fresh cilantro.
