Ingredients
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 tsp Rub Some Chicken
- 3 slices thick-cut bacon, coarsely chopped
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- 1 (8- to 10-ounce) frozen pizza dough ball, thawed
- Yellow cornmeal for sprinkling
- ½ cup plus 3 tbsp Rub Some Chicken Buffalo Sauce
- ¾ cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
- 5 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- ½ cup sliced red onion
- 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- GRILL THE CHICKEN
- Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat to 350°F. Using a kitchen brush, apply the oil to both sides of the chicken breast and sprinkle with rub.
- Use tongs to place the chicken on the hot grill grate. Close the grill and grill the chicken for 10 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reaches 160°F (internal temperature will rise 5° to 10°F upon standing), turning once halfway through.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let cool and chop.
- COOK THE BACON
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for 8 minutes or until almost crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chopped bacon to a paper towel
- GRILL THE PIZZA
- Prepare the grill for indirect grilling and heat to 400°F. Sprinkle the bottom of a rimmed baking pan with cornmeal.
- Lightly flour work surface; place dough on prepared surface. With a rolling pin, roll dough to 12- to 14-inch round. Carefully transfer the dough round onto pan over cornmeal.
- With a fork, poke dough several times to vent. Slide the dough round onto the center of hot grill grate, close the grill and cook for 8 minutes or until the bottom the of crust is browned, rotating once halfway through cooking.
- Use tongs to transfer the crust onto the bottom of the rimmed baking pan.
- Leaving a 1-inch border, with the back of a spoon, spread ½ cup of the BBQ sauce over the crust; top with smoked Gouda cheese, then the mozzarella cheese, chicken, bacon and onion.
- Drizzle the pizza with 3 tbsp BBQ Sauce.
- Slide pizza onto the center of the hot grill grate. Close the grill and cook 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and the edges of the pizza are golden brown, using tongs to move the pizza if necessary to prevent the crust from burning.
- Transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Sprinkle the pizza with cilantro and cut into 8 slices to serve.
