Description

My feeble attempt at reproducing one of the many delicious recipes at California Pizza Kitchen. It’s yummy, and you can add whatever extras you like!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Recipe For Pizza Crust (mine Makes Two Crusts)
  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ cups Barbecue Sauce
  • Olive Oil, For Drizzling
  • Salt For Sprinkling
  • 16 ounces, weight Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Sliced Thinly
  • ½ whole Red Onion, Cut In Half And Sliced Very Thin
  • Chopped Cilantro, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Salt chicken breasts on both sides, then place in an ovenproof dish. Pour BBQ sauce over the breasts and turn them over to coat. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is done. Remove from oven and cut into a fine dice. Set aside.

Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees.

Roll/stretch out one pizza crust. Lay it on a sheet pan drizzled with olive oil. Drizzle a little olive oil on the crust, then sprinkle on a little salt.

Spoon a couple of tablespoons of extra BBQ sauce on the crust and spread it evenly. Top sauce with half the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle on half the diced chicken and thinly sliced red onion.

Sprinkle again with a little salt, then bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and toppings are bubbly.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle on plenty of chopped cilantro. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Repeat with other crust and other ingredients, or save for another time.

so since the crust recipe is for 2 crusts, is the pizza recipe enough ingredients for 2 pizzas? confused!

I make this pizza dough weekly and never bake it longer than 10 minutes! I’m so sorry yours burned, anjanconda! Try it again soon!

Hmm, unfortunately this pizza came out pretty much completely burned after 15 minutes on 500. Honestly I have never used the 500 setting before and it seemed a little bit high and didn’t work in the end. :(( Very disappointing ’cause it smelled really good (for a while…) Maybe my oven is different? Too bad for all the ingredients, but I’ll try it again some time…

I made this over thie weekend, and it was delicious! I forgot that the dough was for two pizzas so the crust was rather thick, but next time I’ll know better! I love this recipe!

My whole family loves it. Only thing we don’t like that center/bottom of the pizza was so soft, I can’t hold a piece of pizza without any chicken fell off the pizza. My husband said that maybe I should lower the oven temperature and cook it longer. Any suggestion?
