Barbecued Chicken Pizza

Another favorite and regular meal at our house! I have slightly changed the recipe as I have made a few times. Here is my version!


Ingredients:
Serves 4

• Olive oil, for baking sheet


• All-purpose flour, for dusting


• 1 pound store-bought frozen pizza dough, thawed (If you have a bread machine you can make your own dough however I have never been happy when I make my own dough and then freeze it. It doesn't taste very good one thawed, so store bought might be a better choice.)


• 1 chicken breast


• store-bought barbecue sauce (I love "Sweet Baby Ray's")


• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese


• 4 cloves of garlic


• 1 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced


• 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced


• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions:

1. Pour bottle of BBQ sauce in a medium sauce pan, reserve a 1/2 cup to spread on pizza later. Add chicken breast to the pan and 4 cloves of garlic. Turn the stove on Medium High and let the chicken cook in the BBQ sauce for about 35 minutes or until there is no pink left. When the chicken is done it should flake apart. Keep the chicken in the pan and place it on Low until your dough is rolled out.


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


3. 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 1/2 cup 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.


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