Barbecued Chicken Pizzas

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 oz. each)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cups (8 oz) shredded Gouda cheese
1/4 cup minced cilantro
  • Coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat 5-7 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear, basking frequently with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion onto a 12" x 10" rectangle. Lightly brush both sides of the dough with oil; place on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.
  • Remove from grill. Cut the chicken into 1/2" cubes. Spread the grilled side of the pizza with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce; layer with chicken, onion, cheese and cilantro. Return to grill. Cover and cook each pizza for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned and cheese is melted. (2 pizzas, 4-pieces each).

Tonight I am serving this pizza with the chopped blue cheese salad. I am on a blue chess kick right now and I love blue cheese with grilled food! Enjoy!

This recipe is from the July/August edition of Taste of Home Simple & Delicious.

gouda cheese? sounds yummy! I have always made it with feta (I kind of have a fetish for it ... ha, ha, ha!). Did you mom show up in time to enjoy it too?
