Balsamic Chicken Pizza Recipes

BALSAMIC CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• First make the pizza dough. In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt and yeast. Gradually add in the warm water, mixing as you add it in, until the mixture comes together into a dough.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth and elastic. Set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, cook the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan. Add in the onion and garlic and fry very gently for 5 minutes.
• Add in the cherry tomatoes and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring now and then. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Crush the cooked cherry tomatoes with a masher.
• Meanwhile, prepare the chicken topping. Place the chicken in a bowl, sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add in the chicken and fry, stirring, for 5 minutes, until cooked through. Add in the remaining balsamic vinegar, scraping the frying pan with a wooden spatula to deglaze it.
• Break the risen dough down and divide into 3 even-sized portions.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F
• To make a pizza, roll out one of the pizza dough portions into a large disc and place it on a baking sheet.
• Top the pizza with the fried balsamic chicken, then sprinkle over the red onion. Dot with the mozzarella and drizzle over with olive oil.
• Bake for 8 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve at once.

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA WITH BALSAMIC CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Slice your peppers and using a microwave safe plate, cover with paper towel and microwave for 1 minute. *This softens the peppers and ensures your peppers will crisp and cook through while baking*. Set aside. In a small saute pan, add your olive oil and your butter and bring to medium high heat. Once heated, add your sliced onions. Saute till onions start to become soft, add your balsamic vinegar. Continue tossing and stirring till they start to become caramelized and slightly charred, about 4-6 minutes. Take off heat and set aside.
• 2. On your pizza crust, spread almost the entire bottle of bbq sauce over the crust, reserving about 1/4 cup. Add your shredded chicken. Now comes the fun part; add 1/3 cup of your shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken, and 1/3 cup of the pepper jack cheese as well. Now add your peppers and finally add your amazingly delicious, (you just want to sit down and eat the whole pan) balsamic caramelized onions.
• 3. Sprinkle on the remainder of the pepper jack cheese, and 1/2 cup each of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle the remainder of the bbq sauce evenly over the pizza.
• 4. Now add the remainder of your cheeses over your pizza, smile at your creation with adoration and place in oven to bake!
• 5. Bake for 20-22 minutes till pizza is nice and crispy!! Enjoy!
