Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 302kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounce boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2/3 cup green chile marinade
- 16 oz. pizza dough homemade or storebought
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/3 tsp dried Italian seasonings
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp barbecue sauce divided
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ medium red onion cut into rings
- Fresh cilantro for garnishing
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast in a small container and cover with the Green Chile Marinade. Flip the chicken several times to ensure it is well-coated. Cover and place in refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breast on the grill, and cook until done (about 10 minutes). Dice the chicken into cubes about ¾”-1” in size. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 460 degrees. (Tip: Pizza stones are an invaluable tool for homemade pizza. They absorb the heat of the oven, giving you the perfect cooking surface.)
- Prepare the pizza dough by stretching it into a large circle. (I prefer to place a piece of parchment paper under my dough as it makes it easier to get the pizza into and out of the oven.)
- In a small dish, combine the olive oil and Italian seasonings. Mix well. Brush the mixture around the outer 1” of dough.
- Spread ½ cup of BBQ sauce evenly over the center of the dough.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Mozzarella, smoked Gouda, and Cheddar cheeses. Gently toss until mixed. Spread the cheese mixture evenly across the top of the barbecue sauce.
- Spread the grilled chicken cubes and sliced onions across the top of the pizza.
- Bake in a 460F degree oven for 12-14 minutes, or until edges of the pizza turn golden in color.
- Remove pizza from oven and top with fresh cilantro.
- Using a squirt bottle (or sandwich bag with one tiny corner snipped off), drizzle the remaining 2 Tbsp of BBQ sauce across the top of the pizza.)
