BBQ Chicken Pizza

I think this was one of my favorite pizzas I've made! The crust was perfect: thin, crispy outside, slightly chewy inside. I used just enough barbecue sauce to make it saucy and flavorful, but not overwhelming. The spice from jalapeños and crushed red pepper flakes was perfect (I love the heat!). The only thing I'll try next time is to add diced tomatoes. I think they'd add a little extra tangy sweetness.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

• wheat pizza crust
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Barbecue Sauce)
• shredded chicken, about 2 medium breasts worth
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
• small bunch chopped green onion
• 1 jalapeño, finely diced
• 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup diced tomato
• shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 450. Prepare dough, spread out onto greased and cornmeal dusted pizza pan. Set aside and let rise for about 10 minutes.  

Heat shredded chicken in skillet with cilantro, green onion, jalapeño, and remaining BBQ sauce. 

Top crust with about 1/3 cup BBQ sauce, enough to cover dough. Then add chicken mixture, bell pepper, tomato and cheese. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Top with crushed red pepper flakes. 

Can you tell which side is mine?
