Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Dough
1 tbl. yeast
1 c. warm water
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 tbl. oil
2 1/2 c. flour

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir in remaining ingredients. Let rise for 5-10 minutes. Roll out on pizza pan and cook for 10 minutes at 375. This is a fast, no-fail, very serviceable crust.

Topping
2-3 chicken breasts, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
1 3/4 c. bottled barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Rays)
3-4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 small onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced

Cook chicken in frying pan with garlic and onion. Set aside. Saute peppers until crisp-tender. Add chicken and barbecue sauce to peppers and heat through. Spread on crust and top with cheese. Cook 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

I usually don't put in the peppers because I usually don't have them on hand. And I just eyeball the sauce and cheese. And I think putting the chicken on top of the sauce and cheese might be nice.

This topping would probably be great on DeAnna's pizza crust. I put this crust on because it is a quick and easy recipe for when you don't have a lot of time or for when you didn't think ahead to make something else.

So as a last minute meal I made a margherita (sp?) pizza with this crust and it came out very nicely! Excellent job, as always, picking them recipes.
