Instructions
Cut the chicken chunks into small pieces.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
Add the chicken chunks and sauté until the edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
Position racks in the upper third and middle of the oven.
Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the top rack and preheat the oven to 180 degrees C for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, layout a sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil.
Divide dough into two equal parts and transfer it onto a dry surface.
Roll and shape the dough into a 9-inch triangle, stretching it with our hands as needed.
Lightly brush the dough with olive oil.
Spread about the 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over each pizza.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese atop the sauce.
Top with cooked chicken chunks.
For a pleasantly crisp touch, spread the uncooked onions and green bell pepper over the chicken mixture. If you prefer onions that are completely cooked, sauté them all with the chicken.
Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese oregano and dried basil over them.
Top with jalapoens.
Bake the pizzas for about 15-18 minutes, until the crust(s) are golden and cheese melts and the topping is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, and cut into pieces.
Unbelieveably Awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza is ready to serve.
Garnish with snipped fresh basil, if desired.
