Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

1 (12-inch) pre-baked pizza crust
1/2 cup hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced thin
1 med. red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. salt, divided
3 tbsps. cooking oil
1/4 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cups smoked Gouda (grated) or mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Directions:

Preheat oven around 450′ F. With a heavy duty foil, cover a baking sheet and set aside. Wash the chicken then dry it out and season with 1/4 tsp. of salt & some pepper as well.

In a skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat and then saute chicken for 2 mins. or just until the outside is not anymore pink.

Take out chicken slices from the pan using a slotted spoon. Add in mushrooms and onions on the pan and add the remaining salt then saut� for 3 mins. or just until the onions are translucent.

Take the pan out of the heat and return the chicken back to the pan. Add in barbecue sauce to the pan too. Put the crust on the baking sheet and layer half of the cheese on the crust then top the chicken mixture.

Sprinkle the other half of the cheese then bake for about 10-12 mins. at around 450′ F or just until the cheese is melting and crust has turned crispy. Let cool for 3 mins. prior to cutting it. Serve while hot.
