Barbecued Chicken Pizza

By jeaninemg

If you have a pizza stone, place it in the preheating oven; after assembling the pie on the baking sheet, slide it onto the stone, and bake as directed. Look for ready-made pizza dough in your grocery's freezer section; it is usually sold in packages of two one-pound balls. Or, ask your local pizzeria for a pound of fresh dough.

Ingredients

• Olive oil, for baking sheet
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 1.00 pound(s) store-bought frozen pizza dough, thawed
• 2 cup(s) shredded cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup(s) store-bought barbecue sauce
• 2.00 cup(s) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1.00 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 1.00 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
• Coarse salt
• Ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet; set aside.

On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin and your hands to roll and stretch dough to a 15-by-10-inch oval (if dough becomes too elastic to work with, let rest a few minutes). Transfer to prepared baking sheet.

In a medium bowl, combine chicken and barbecue sauce. Leaving a 1-inch border, scatter chicken mixture evenly over dough; sprinkle with cheese, then zucchini and onion. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
