Ingredients
- 1 batch of pizza dough
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 1/2 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 3 jalapeño peppers
- 4 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 ounce mozzarella cheese, grated
- 4 scallions, sliced
Directions
- Preheat oven to 495 F.
- Toss the cooked shredded chicken with ½ cup of the barbecue sauce and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion and saute, stirring occasionally, over low heat under very soft, 15-20 minutes.
- While the onion is sauteeing, place the jalapeño peppers in a dry skillet over high heat.
- Cook, turning as needed, until all sides are blackened and blistered.
- Remove the peppers to a bowl and cover the bowl with foil or a tea towel.
- When peppers are cool enough to handle, put on your rubber gloves (I insist!) and slip the skin off the outside of the peppers.
- Slice the peppers in half, remove the seeds and ribs and slice into thin strips.
- Spray pizza pan with olive oil non-stick cooking spray.
- Using your fingertips, press pizza dough into your pizza pan, making a crust around the edges.
- Spread the remaining half-cup barbecue sauce over the dough, leaving a one-inch border around the edge.
- Top pizza with shredded cheeses.
- Spread sauteed onion, roasted jalapeño slices and the shredded chicken evenly over the pizza.
- Bake at 495 for 10-12 minutes until the crust is puffed and golden and the cheese melted and bubbly.
- Top with chopped scallion and serve.
