Chicken Barbecue Pizza Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Barbecue Chicken Pizza recipe, we will first make the pizza dough as it takes a couple of hours to rise

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, sugar

Step 3: Add lukewarm water and knead to make a soft smooth dough

Step 4: Add olive oil on the top and knead about for about 5 minutes until the pizza dough is soft

Step 5: Once done, cover the dough and keep it aside for about 2 hours until the dough has almost doubled in size

Step 6: We will move ahead to make the sauce, Keep the tomato puree ready, heat a sauce pan with oil, add garlic and soften them for few seconds

Step 7: Add onions and saute them till they soften

Step 8: Add pureed tomatoes into the pan along with the rest of the ingredients - dried thyme leaves, tabasco sauce, sugar, red chilli flakes and salt

Step 9: Mix well, cover it with the lid and cook it over a low heat for about 15 minutes

Step 10: Keep it aside to cool down

Step 11: To make the topping, heat a flat skillet with oil, add chicken pieces and fry for few seconds, add barbecue sauce and saute well for 2 more minutes and switch it off

Step 12: When the dough has risen and the topping is ready, make the pizza when you are ready to serve it - else the pizza will get brittle and the paneer will become stiff

Step 13: Preheat a skillet or an iron tawa on medium heat

Step 14: Divide the pizza dough into 4 portions

Step 15: Dust the pizza dough on flour and roll to make a 5 inch circle or the thickness you like for the pizza crust

Step 16: Place the rolled dough on the tawa and cook it like a roti on both sides

Step 17: Spread a little oil on the top of the dough and flip to make it face the bottom

Step 18: Next spread the tomato sauce evenly, drizzle the mozzarella cheese

Step 19: Add the Barbecue chicken topping on the pizza and spread it evenly

Step 20: Cover the pan and allow the cheese to melt and also wait for the crust to get a slightly crisp from the sides

Step 21: This will take about 4 to 5 minutes

Step 22: You can bake it in the oven also for about 10 minutes till the crust turns golden brown

Step 23: Once done, remove the Barbecue Chicken Pizza from the oven and serve

Step 24: Proceed the same way with the remaining pizza dough and serve immediately

Step 25: Serve the Chicken Barbecue Pizza along with Spaghetti Pasta Alla Puttanesca and a glass of Mango Ginger Virgin Mojito for your weekend dinner
