#1 BBQ Chicken Pizza

This was fantastic!  I thought sure the bbq sauce would overpower the ingredients, but it didn't.  Definitely carmelize the onions--don't skip this step and you won't be sorry.  I could taste everything in it.

Rating: 5/5
Ease of preparation:  5/5 
Serve to guests: definitely--a great Sat night party food
Leftover: 1/5 sadly, this made a bad leftover--stale, hard crust and over-dried chicken
Surprises: VERY filling.  I could only eat half of my individual pizza

Changes I made:  I used my favorite no-rise pizza crust recipe(here) instead of the refrigerated crust.  I also cut the recipe exactly in half to make an individual pizza.  Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

The Brit's rating:  In between:  He didn't want any of this pizza, so I made him his own bacon, tomato and onion one.  He did try a bite and said, "It is nice.  I'm just not into chicken on pizza; but it's nice".  


BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

·                                1/4  cup (60 ml)olive oil

·                                1 red onion, sliced

·                                6 slices bacon

·                                1 (10 ounce) (284g) container refrigerated pizza crust

·                                3/4 cup (180ml) barbeque sauce

·                                2 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded

·                                1/4 cup (40g) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

·                                1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced, or to taste (optional)

·                                1  tablespoon (7g) paprika

·                                1 tablespoon (7g) garlic powder

·                                2 cups (225g) shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1.                      Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.

2.                      Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.  Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble when cool.

3.                      Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

4.                      Press the refrigerated pizza crust onto the baking sheet to fit the size of the pan. Spread the barbeque sauce evenly over the dough, and sprinkle with the shredded chicken, caramelized onion, bacon, Gorgonzola cheese, and diced jalapeno pepper. Season with paprika and garlic powder. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

5.                      Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and the pizza dough is golden brown on the bottom, 15 to 17 minutes.
