California Pizza Kitchen Original Bbq Chicken Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• To make BBQ Chicken: In a large frying pan, cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled through.
• Once chilled, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce; set aside in the refrigerator.
• To make the pizza: Place the pizza stone in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F for one hour before cooking pizzas.
• Use a large spoon to spread ¼ cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon smoked Gouda cheese over the sauce. Cover with ¾ cup shredded Mozzarella. Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese (approximately 18 pieces). Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup Mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
• Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 tablespoon cilantro over the hot surface. Slice.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lowest position and place a pizza stone on it. Preheat the oven to its highest setting, 500°F or higher, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• While the oven is preheating, allow the dough to come to room temperature on the counter. Toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce and set aside.
• Cut a piece of parchment to fit your pizza stone and place the dough on it. Use your fingers to gently press and stretch the dough into a large circle. Spread with the remaining barbecue sauce, then scatter the chicken on top. Sprinkle the pizza with the Gouda and mozzarella cheese, then top with the onion.
• Carefully transfer the parchment with pizza onto the pizza stone. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until crust is browned and cheese is bubbly. Sprinkle the cilantro on top just before serving.
