Bbq Chicken Pizza With Cilantro Pesto Recipes

Steps:

• Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Shape the pizza dough into a ball, add it to the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Position racks in the upper third and middle of the oven. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the top rack and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay out a sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the ball of dough to the parchment and roll it out into a 10-inch round, stretching it with your hands as needed. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil, cover with another piece of parchment and set aside to let rise slightly, about 30 minutes.
• While the dough rises, mix 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl. Put the chicken in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper and brush with the barbecue sauce mixture. Bake on the middle oven rack until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Uncover the dough and spread with the remaining 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Top with the chicken, gouda, mozzarella and red onion. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet, then slide onto the hot stone or baking sheet; bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pizza crust on a medium baking sheet. Spread the crust with barbeque sauce. Top with chicken, cilantro, pepperoncini peppers, onion, and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Steps:

• Whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to proof. Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in a large bowl with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and oil and stir until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, add the dough, and turn to coat. Cover and place in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half. Divide each half into 2 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-inch circle. Brush with oil and grill on both sides until golden brown. Spread a few tablespoons of the Cilantro Pesto over each pizza, top with a few slices of buffalo mozzarella, and then top with 4 shrimp and cilantro leaves. Place the pizza on the grill until the cheese melts. Serve hot.
• Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.;
• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Brush each shrimp with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through (shrimp will be opaque and turn pink).

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2. Prepare the cilantro pesto. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine cilantro, jalapenos, garlic, oil, and lime juice. Process until mixture is almost smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• 3. Unroll pizza crust on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes.
• 4. Spread Cilantro Pesto evenly over crust, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
• 5. In a medium bowl, combine chicken and taco seasoning.
• 6. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• 7. Place chicken evenly over pesto.
• 8. Top evenly with cheese, tomatoes, and onion.
• 9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with taco sauce and sour cream, if desired.

Steps:

• If chicken is not grilled grill chicken and seson with season salt, cut into bite size pieces, set aside.
• Roll out the pizza dough, lightly olive oil the crust, transfer to a "cornmealed" pizza stone or cookie sheet and prepare the ingredients for the base sauce in a small bowl. Spread the base sauce on the dough and put in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. This prevents a soggy pizza dough.
• While the dough is cooking grill onions and mushrooms on a cast iron grill (if you do not have a grill, do it in a skillet). Lightly salt to taste.
• After the pizza dough has cooked for ten minutes, take it out and put a 3/4 of the grated cheeses on the pizza put all of the toppings on, putting the onions and mushrooms last. Top with the remaining 1/4 of cheese. Put in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
• While waiting for the pizza to cook, make the cilantro sauce topping, by blending ingredients in a food processor and placing it in a ziplock bag.
• When pizza is done, cut the tip of the cilantro sauce bag with scissors and drizzle over the pizza.
