Warm weather = grill time!

My husband and I are those people who grill as much as possible. We've even been known to grill with winter coats on! I love the ease of grilling, and the flavor it gives. One of our newer favorite grilling meals is grilled pizza. In particular, grilled bbq chicken pizza! When we order pizza out, we're pretty traditional- pepperoni, peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc. But, for some reason we love the flavor of bbq chicken pizza on the grill. Here's how we do it:

Ingredients:

• 1 serving fresh pizza dough (if you didn't know this, you can buy fresh pizza dough at Whole Foods, where they sell their pizzas)


• 1 large chicken breast, sauteed with salt and pepper and diced and lightly marinaded in bbq sauce (or you can use shredded rotisserie chicken)


• 1/2 thinly sliced red onion


• about 1 cup or so of your favorite bbq sauce (our favorite with this is Bull's Eye original--we love its tangy, spicy flavor, but we use Sweet Baby Ray's, too)


• about 1 cup of shredded smoked gouda cheese


• chopped cilantro


• olive oil

First, you want to have all of your ingredients prepared and near your grill, for easy access. Then roll out or toss your dough until it gets to the size you like, and place it onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil. Flip the dough so that the oiled side is down, onto a grill heated to medium. Immediately brush the top with olive oil. Allow the dough to cook about 2 minutes, or until it is golden brown, and flip. You may need to poke any airholes with a fork.



Once you've flipped the dough, it's time to put on your toppings! Begin by spreading the bbq sauce like you would pizza sauce, using as much or little as you want. Then scatter the chicken and onions around the pizza, covering it with the shredded cheese and cilantro. Allow the pizza to cook until the cheese melts. Remove from the grill, slice, and serve!
