[edit] Description

[edit] Ingredients

• 10 ounces boneless skinless Chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons favorite barbecue sauce (we use a spicy-sweet sauce)
• bbq Chicken pizza dough
• cornmeal or semolina or flour, for handling
• 1/2 cup favorite barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons shredded smoked Gouda Cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella Cheese
• 1/4 small red onion, sliced into 1/8-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

[edit] Directions

1. To make BBQ Chicken: In a large frying pan, cook the Chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled through.
2. Once chilled, coat the Chicken with 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce; set aside in the refrigerator.
3. To make the pizza: Place the pizza stone in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F for one hour before cooking pizzas.
4. Use a large spoon to spread ¼ cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon smoked Gouda Cheese over the sauce. Cover with ¾ cup shredded mozzarella. Distribute half the Chicken pieces evenly over the Cheese (approximately 18 pieces). Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
5. Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the Cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 tablespoon cilantro over the hot surface. Slice
