BBQ Chicken Pizza

http://www.thecountrycook.net

Ingredients:
1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or make your own)
1/2-1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
2 cups grilled chicken, cubed
1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 red onion, diced (optional)
Ranch dressing (to taste)


Directions:
Preheat oven.
If using a refrigerated pizza dough, follow the directions on the back of the tube for the oven temperature and how long to cook your pizza.
My homemade pizza dough recipe makes a large 16" pizza and the oven needs to be preheated to 425F degrees.


Spray your pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Then spread out the pizza dough.


Now spread on the BBQ sauce. The key here is not to go too crazy with the sauce. You don't want the BBQ sauce flavor to overrule all the other flavors going on in the pizza. So a light coating on your dough should work perfectly.


Add on your crumbled bacon, chopped grilled chicken breasts and diced red onion (if using)


Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
Bake in the oven according to refrigerated pizza directions (basically until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly).
For my homemade pizza dough, you'll need to bake it for about 15-17 minutes at 425F degrees.
