Ingredients:

  1. 16oz  Pizza Dough (available in the deli section of your supermarket)

  10. Salt & Pepper, to taste

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat grill to 400F.
  2. Divide dough in half and roll out with rolling pin to 1/4 inch thickness. Dust work surface with the flour so dough does not stick to table. Dough does not have to be perfectly round.
  3. Repeat above with the other half of dough.

  5. Cook for 1 minute then rotate each dough 90 degrees. Brush the top of the dough with more olive oil.

  7. Cook for 1 minute, remove dough from grill. Turn off grill.
  8. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  9. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil, the mushrooms and the onions.
  10. Cook for 5 minutes stirring often. Onions should be soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
  11. Drain and set aside.
  12. Cut the chicken breast in half and slice into 1/4 inch strips.
  13. Preheat oven to 400F.
  14. Place each dough on a baking pan and begin assembling the pizzas by spreading an even layer of  BBQ sauce on each grilled dough.
  15. Evenly spread the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on each dough.
  16. Evenly spread the onion and mushroom mixture on each dough.
  17. Evenly spread the sliced chicken on each dough.
  18. Place fully assembled pizzas in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.
