CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Set cooked chicken aside in the refrigerator until chilled through.
• Once chilled, coat the chicken with two tablespoons BBQ sauce. Place it back in the refrigerator.
• Place a pizza stone in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees for one hour before cooking pizzas.
• Sprinkle semolina on a work surface.
• Place half of the pizza dough on the semolina and roll out the dough.
• Use a large spoon to spread ¼ cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Gouda cheese over the sauce.
• Cover with ¾ cup shredded mozzarella.
• Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese (approximately 18 pieces).
• Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface.
• Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
• Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese in the center is bubbly, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven and sprinkle 1 tablespoon cilantro over the hot pizza. Slice and serve.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients for a second pizza. The two pizzas may be prepared simultaneously if you are careful in placing the pizzas at opposite corners of your pizza stone.

ALMOST-FAMOUS BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Shape the pizza dough into a ball, add it to the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Position racks in the upper third and middle of the oven. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the top rack and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay out a sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the ball of dough to the parchment and roll it out into a 10-inch round, stretching it with your hands as needed. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil, cover with another piece of parchment and set aside to let rise slightly, about 30 minutes.
• While the dough rises, mix 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl. Put the chicken in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper and brush with the barbecue sauce mixture. Bake on the middle oven rack until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Uncover the dough and spread with the remaining 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Top with the chicken, gouda, mozzarella and red onion. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet, then slide onto the hot stone or baking sheet; bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.
