Unbelievably Awesome Barbeque Chicken Pizza


  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or olive oil if you don't have any)
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
  • 1/4 cup barbeque sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) package pre-baked pizza crust (or make quick dough in the bread machine and bake it for 10 minutes before toppings are added)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red or white onion
  • tomato slices (optional)
  • bacon bits  (optional)
  • a dash or two of cayenne pepper  (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breast in the skillet, and top with 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce. Cook 10 minutes, turn, and top with 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce. Continue cooking 10 minutes, until juices run clear. Cool slightly, and cut into chunks.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  3. In a small bowl, mix the remaining barbeque sauce and marinara sauce. Spread evenly over the pizza crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Arrange cooked chicken chunks and red onion slices over the top. Add any additional toppings you may want.
  4. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cilantro, and let sit 10 minutes before slicing.
