I know it's a controversial subject, but I personally enjoy the sweetness pineapple adds to a savory BBQ Chicken Pizza. Toss some jalapeños on there for an extra kick of heat and boom... flavor explosion!
Serves: 12 Slices
Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups Cooked & Seasoned Chicken Breast, cut into small chunks (2 breasts)
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil, or more as needed
  • 16 oz. Pizza Dough, room temperature
  • 8 oz. Monterey Jack, cut into squares
  • 4 oz. Munster Cheese, cut into smaller slices
  • ¼ Small Red Onion, sliced thin
  • 8oz. can Pineapple Chunks, drained
  • Fresh Jalapeño Slices, optional to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 2 - 3 tbsp. Fresh Cilantro Leaves, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, optional to taste
Instructions
  1. Season and cook 2 chicken breasts in a large skillet (or other preferred method) until internal temperature has reached 165F. Once cooked, chop into smaller chunks and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 550F.
  3. Drizzle olive oil into the pizza pan and spread to coat all sides.
  4. Press the pizza dough into the pan until it has covered the entire bottom. It will be a square shape.
