BBQ Chicken Pizza – Trader Joe’s Style

This is a huge hit on Friday nights.  It is easy to make and goes well with a few beers.

Required Items
TJ pre cooked BBQ Chicken Strips
Shredded Mozzarella
Cilantro (a must for this dish)
1 Red Onion
TJ raw pizza dough – plain
TJ pizza sauce and TJ BBQ sauce



Follow the directions for the pizza dough (you need to let it sit out for about 20 minutes at room temp).  While you are waiting for the dough to set up, turn on the oven to the temperature on the pizza dough bag.

Place the dough on a FLOURED cookie sheet, or a pizza stone. Spread out the dough with a floured rolling pin (or a drinking glass). Top the raw dough with a 50/50 mixture Pizza Sauce and BBQ Sauce. 

Now top with shredded mozzarella and add chicken strips. Scatter raw, diced red onion.  Add another layer of cheese. Put it in the oven.  When the pizza is almost ready, add the chopped cilantro.  Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before you eat it.

Substitutes:  You could use pre-cooked pizza dough instead of the TJ raw pizza dough.  If you do not like cilantro, try to suck it up for this one because it completes the flavor of the pizza.

**Pizza dough is really sticky.  Flour "deactives" the stickiness.  DO NOT USE WATER on the raw pizza doug.  It is a big mistake, tust me.
