BBQ CHICKEN & BACON PIZZA


BBQ chicken pizza is one of my favorite kinds of pizza. I love the stuff! I got this recipe out of my favorite Food Nanny cookbook. I just added some chopped bacon to it! Mmmmmm... Bacon :) I love bacon!

1 pizza dough
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
1 cup, plus 3 tbs sweet barbecue sauce, divided
3 1/2 cups shredded mozzerella cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
3 tbs chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the chicken breast on a foil lined cookie sheet. Bake the chicken for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and then move up temperature of oven to 425 degrees. Set chicken aside.
Roll dough out with a rolling pin into a circle shape to fit the pizza pan. Let the dough rise in the pan while you get the other ingredients ready.
TOPPINGS: Spread 1 cup of the barbecue sauce over the pizza dough.
Sprinkle 3 cups of the mozzerella cheese on top.
Get your chicken breast, cut it into small pieces and then toss into 3 tbs of barbecue sauce.
Sprinkle the chicken, bacon and onion over the cheese.
Top with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzerella cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes on the lowest rack.
Remove pizza from oven, sprinkle with cilantro.
Return to oven and bake for 5 more minutes or until crust is light brown.
Slice and Serve :)) Enjoy!!!
