I had no idea what to make for dinner tonight and was admittedly not in the mood to cook. What to have, what to have? Let's see, I have left over rotisserie chicken in the refrigerator, and I spot some mozzarella cheese. Let me check the freezer...yep, have an extra pizza dough in there. Problem: no sauce. Solution: BBQ sauce! Everyone has a bottle of BBQ sauce laying around, right?
So. BBQ Chicken Pizza it was:
BBQ Chicken Pizza
1 pkg whole wheat pizza dough
dried oregano and olive oil to season dough
1/2-3/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup rotisserie or other shredded chicken
1 medium onion, sliced
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F.
Roll the dough out and season with dried oregano and brush with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the chicken and about half of the BBQ sauce until the chicken is well coated. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the pizza dough. You may want to adjust the amount based on how saucy you like your pizza.
Top the pizza with the shredded chicken, then sliced onions, and then cheese. (Another version would be to caramelize the onions first, then cover the chicken). Bake for about 20 minutes or until the pizza is cooked through and the crust is crispy.
It pays to have a few staples hanging around (like BBQ sauce in the refrigerator and pizza dough in the freezer!).
