BBQ Chicken Pizza

Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

Fast and yummy pizza that is a real tummy pleaser! This recipe combines leftovers and fresh produce with a few prepackaged items to help you get a healthy and tasty meal on the table in no time. Created for RSC 10. Best of luck to all chefs!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 cups cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts , diced (leftovers work great!)
• 2 -3 cups barbecue sauce (use your favorite)
• 1 green pepper , diced
• 2 cups crushed pineapple (optional)
• 1 red onion , very thinly sliced
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or 1 tomato , thinly sliced
• ½ cup pickled jalapeno pepper , more if you like them
• 2 prepared pizza crust (like Boboli)
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese , shredded (I use the pizza blend bagged shredded cheese)
• 2 cups colby-monterey jack cheese , shredded (I use the colby jack blend bagged shredded cheese)

Directions:

1. Drain pineapple and slice or cut tomatoes, Drain very well in a strainer so that the juice does not make the crust soggy. I even squeeze the pineapple to get most of the juice out. A ricer works great here! BUT will smoosh the tomatoes.
2. Spread half of the bbq sauce on each pizza and top with chicken, thinly sliced onions, diced bell pepper, cut and drained tomatoes, and pineapple that has been drained well. (NOTE: PLEASE drain as much juice as you can so that your crust does not get soggy).
3. Mix cheeses together and top each pizza equally. Place the jalapeño slices on top.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cheese bubbles and begins to brown.
5. Allow pizza to rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve!

I didn't add the jalapenos or the green pepper, didn't have them. I also added crockpot carmelized onions to it. We really liked this and it was good the next day for leftovers. Next time I would like to add some red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Everybody loved it!! I didn't have everything on hand so mine did not have tomatoes and green pepper. Instead I simmered my chicken in bbq sauce with some red pepper flakes to give it some spice and I did a mixture of pizza sauce and bbq sauce so it wasn't overly sweet. I loved the addition of pineapple!!

This is good pizza. Also very quick and easy to a make. For our personal tastes the recipe calls for too much barbecue sauce on the pizza. I put 1 C on the first one and it was too much. So I put 2/3 C on the second one and that was about right. Made for Beverage Tag 2008.
