- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed in the refrigerator

Preparation
Step 1
1. Prepare Chicken. Combine basil leaves, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a blender or mini chopper. While blender is running, add 1/3 cup water. Continue blending until fairly smooth. Place chicken in a glass dish and add contents of blender. Let stand while heating grill.
2. Crust and Toppings. Divide thawed dough in half. Roll each half on a lightly floured surface to a 9-inch circle. Let rest.
3. Heat gas grill to medium-high or coals in charcoal grill to medium hot. Grill chicken for 15 minutes or until cooked through, turning once. Remove to a cutting board and slice into bite-size pieces.
4. Brush pizza doughs with some of the olive oil. Transfer doughs, oil-side down, onto grill. Brush dough tops with olive oil. Cover and grill 3 minutes. Using tongs and a spatula, flip over doughs. Working quickly, spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce on each pie. Top with mozzarella. Cover and grill 2 minutes. Uncover and divide grilled chicken between pies. Grill 1 minute. Remove pizzas to cutting board and top with grated cheese and fresh basil and serve.
