BBQ Chicken Pizza













BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Ingredients
1 can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated artisan pizza crust with whole grain
2 cups coarsely chopped cooked chicken breast
¾ cup barbecue sauce
2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired

Directions
Heat oven to 400°F for dark or nonstick pan (425°F for all other pans). Spray 15x10-inch pan with sides with cooking spray.

Unroll dough in pan; starting at center, press dough into 15x10-inch rectangle. Bake about 8 minutes or until light brown.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, place chicken and barbecue sauce. Using 2 forks, toss until chicken is coated with sauce.

Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over crust. Spoon and spread chicken mixture evenly over cheese. Top with red onion and remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. To serve, cut into 6 rows by 3 rows. Sprinkle with parsley.



Tips
use leftover cut-up cooked chicken breast, or pick up a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket. Remove the chicken AND skin from the bones, and cut into bite-size pieces.

Any variety of tomato will work in this recipe. We call for plum (Roma) tomatoes because they are firm in texture and don't contain a lot of seeds.
