California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken Pizza

The original BBQ chicken pizza introduced in the first California Pizza Kitchen
restaurant in 1985. A delicious and unique dish which includes smoked Gouda cheese.
Cornmeal, semolina or flour for handling.

½ c Bullseye original barbecue sauce
2 tbsp shredded smoked Gouda cheese
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Commercial pizza dough or dough mix
½ small red onion, sliced into ½ inch pieces
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half
1 tbsp olive oil
1. Cook chicken in large frying pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Set aside in refrigerator.
2. Once chicken is chilled, coat with barbeque sauce and set aside.
3. Follow instructions on the commercial pizza dough mix to prepare enough dough for a 10-inch crust. Form pizza dough into a ball and roll out over a floured surface until 10 inches wide, round and flat.
4. Put pizza crust onto a baking sheet and spread remaining barbeque sauce evenly over crust.
5. Sprinkle ½ c of mozzarella and the Gouda cheese over sauce.
6. Add barbeque chicken, red onion, and cover with remaining ½ c of mozzarella. Add
cilantro on top of the mozzarella.
7. Bake for 10 minutes or until crust is crisp and golden.
