Cherry BBQ Chicken Pizza
As summer heats up, we all feel that pull to fire up the grill and enjoy the warmth with family and friends. Did you know how easy, impressive, and delicious homemade pizzas can be when you make them on the grill? Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or simply craving a unique twist on family pizza night, grilling your pizzas add an extra element of fun and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 shredded chicken breast
- 1 ball prepared pizza dough (storebought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup Original Cherry Barbecue Sauce
- 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Make sure your grill is well cleaned and oiled, to help prevent the crust from sticking. Preheat it to 425 degrees (medium-high heat).
-
Stretch or roll dough into desired size and thickness, and place on top of a piece of parchment paper.
-
Brush the top of the prepared dough with oil, then lift the parchment the crust is on and carefully flip the crust onto the grill, oil side down. Peel the parchment paper off.
-
Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes and check the crust with tongs to see if the bottom side has grill marks and is golden brown. Flip the pizza onto a plate.
-
Spoon on our Original Cherry Barbecue Sauce on the cooked side of the dough. Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese, shredded chicken, and red onions.
-
Lower the grill heat slightly and slide the pizza back onto the grill to cook the bottom side for another 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bottom crust is golden.
Tips: The two biggest tricks to the perfect grilled pizza are to brush a little bit of oil on the dough prior to grilling, and to grill the plain dough first on one side. Then remove it, flip it, add the sauce and toppings, and return the pizza to the grill for final cooking.
