Bbq Chicken Pizza

I've not been the biggest fan of pizza over the years and to be honest the main reason is I just see it as glorified cheese on toast. And often overcharged in a restaurant for what it is. But after touring around Italy, I did appreciate them and have been making them in varying formats. I also don't often see enough variations on the bbq pizza, which is my preference. The tomato ones can get a bit boring. So I think I might have a play. I wonder what chicken tikka pizza would be like?

These days you can buy pizza dough, so I rarely bother to make it. You buy a pack of two balls of dough that you simply roll out yourself and top with anything. Here I have made a bbq chicken one. Absolutely delicious! If you like heat, add a sliced chill on top!

Ingredients:       (Makes 2 pizzas)

1 pack pizza dough (2 x 220g)
1 chicken breast
1 red onion, sliced in rings
1 red pepper
100g tinned sweetcorn
1 cup bbq sauce (your favourite)
garlic salt (optional)
75g cheddar or gruyere cheese


Method:

Set the oven to 200 C and put the chicken breast in a small dish. Cover with kitchen foil and cook for 20-25 minutes (depending on the size). When it has cooked, chop and put in a bowl with about 2 tbsp. of the bbq sauce.

Flour a board and rolling pin and roll out your dough balls to about 12 inches. Place each one on a baking sheet. Generously spread the bbq sauce on the dough and top with sliced onion, pepper, the chicken and sweetcorn. Season with a little black pepper and garlic salt. Then sprinkle over the cheese. Turn the oven up to 230 C and put the pizzas into the oven. Cook for 10 minutes and the swap them over so that they both get a turn on the top shelf and cook evenly.

Take out of the oven, slice and enjoy!!
