Ingredients

Scale

 

Pizza Dough:

  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tsp Granulated White Sugar
  • 1 cup Warm Water (105° to 115°F)
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil, divided

Chipotle Chicken:

  • 2 Chicken Breasts, halved and pounded
  • 1 tsp Chipotle Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Italian Herb Blend
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Pizza Toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 Red Onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley or Cilantro, finely chopped

Chipotle Drizzle:

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Chipotle Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, whisk together sifted flour, salt, and yeast. Combine sugar and warm water in a separate bowl, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Slowly pour this into the flour mixture, mixing on low speed. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and mix until a tacky dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface, then place it in an oiled bowl to rise for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Chipotle Chicken

Season chicken breasts with chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, and herbs. In a skillet, melt butter and pan-fry the chicken until golden and cooked through. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Chipotle Drizzle

Mix mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, chipotle seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set the drizzle aside for later.

Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a pizza pan. Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, then add shredded mozzarella, chipotle chicken, bacon crumbles, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley or cilantro.

Step 5: Bake the Pizza

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the chipotle sauce. Slice and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly shredded mozzarella and just-picked herbs make all the difference.
  • Adjust the spice: For a milder version, reduce the chipotle seasoning in the chicken and drizzle.
  • Experiment with toppings: Add some bell peppers or even avocado slices for a more varied flavor.
