Servings: 6 serves
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough, or homemade pizza dough
- olive oil
- ¼ to ⅓ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup bbq sauce, divided
- ¾ to 1 pound baked or grilled chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the outdoor grill to 450ºF and lightly brush the grates with oil.
- Prepare the pizza dough by stretching or rolling it out into a thin circle. Brush the dough with olive oil.
- Slide the pizza dough oil-side-down onto the grill grates over direct heat.
- Close the grill lid and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is browned underneath. If it’s not browned, give it another minute.
- In the meantime, combine the chicken pieces and ¼ cup BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Remove the pizza crust from the grill and let it stand for 2 minutes.
- Turn the pizza crust over, browned-side up. Spread cream cheese over the entire pizza crust.
- Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the cream cheese.
- Top with the chicken pieces, sliced red onions, and shredded cheese.
- Slide the pizza back on the grill. Lower the heat to medium-high, and close the lid. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Pull the pizza off the grill onto a cutting board and let it rest for 2 minutes.
- Top with grated parmesan cheese and parsley. Cut and Serve.
