BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA - CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN STYLE

Steps:

• To make BBQ Chicken: In a large frying pan, cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until just cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled through.
• Once chilled, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce; set aside in the refrigerator.
• To make the pizza: Place the pizza stone in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F for one hour before cooking pizzas.
• Use a large spoon to spread ¼ cup BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the prepared dough within the rim. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon smoked Gouda cheese over the sauce. Cover with ¾ cup shredded Mozzarella. Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese (approximately 18 pieces). Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup Mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
• Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 tablespoon cilantro over the hot surface. Slice.

Steps:

• To Make the Fried Tortilla Strips: In a deep, heavy frying pan, heat several inches of vegetable oil to a temperature of 375 degrees. Working in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding, carefully add the tortilla strips to the hot oil, submerging them with a metal skimmer or slotted spoon. Fry the tortilla strips until evenly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully lift them out with the skimmer or slotted spoon and transfer them to paper towels to drain and cool. Set aside, uncovered.
• To Make the Garden Herb Ranch Dressing: In a mixing bowl, use a fork to stir together the mustard and cold water, forming a paste. Set aside for 10 minutes. Add the remaining dressing ingredients to the bowl and, using a handheld electric mixer at low speed or a whisk, blend together just until smooth, taking care not to incorporate too much air into the dressing. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• To Make the Grilled Garlic and BBQ Chicken: Preheat a stovetop grill or the broiler. In a mixing bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, and salt. Turn the chicken breasts in this marinade and leave to marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Grill or broil the chicken breasts until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator. Cut the chicken breasts into 3/4-inch cubes and, in a bowl, toss with the barbecue sauce to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• To Make the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the lettuces, basil, jicama, Monterey Jack cheese, beans, corn, cilantro, dressing, and half of the Fried Tortilla Strips. Transfer the salads to chilled serving plates. Surround each salad with diced tomatoes and the remaining Fried Tortilla Strips. Top each salad with chunks of Grilled Garlic BBQ Chicken and drizzle the chicken with the barbecue sauce. Garnish with the scallion.

CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN ORIGINAL BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. Homemade crust: start 1 day before. In small bowl or measuring cup dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for 5 min. until the surface of the mixture turns foamy. (If it doesn't foam either yeast was too old/dead or water was too hot) Sift together flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a depression in flour and pour in the olive oil and yeast mixture. Use a fork to stir liquid, gradually drawing more flour as you stir, until all ingredients are combined. When you can no longer stir with a fork, use your hands to form dough into a ball. Knead dough with the heels of your hands on a lightly floured surface for 10 min., or until texture of dough is smooth. Form dough back into a ball, coat it lightly with oil, and place it into a clean bowl covered with plastic wrap. Keep bowl in warm place for about 2 hours to allow the dough to double in size. Punch down dough and put it back into the covered bowl and into your refrigerator overnight. Take dough from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before you plan to build pizza so that dough can warm up to room temp. 2. Cut chicken breast into bite-size cubes and marinate with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce in refrigerator for at least 2 hrs. 3. When chicken has marinated, preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Heat a small frying pan with 1.5 teaspoons of oil in it. Saute chicken in pan for about 3 to 4 minutes or until done. 4. Form dough into a ball and roll out on a floored surface until very thin and 10 inches in diameter. Put pizza crust onto a baking sheet/pizza pan, and spread remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust. 5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the mozzarella and all of the Gouda cheese over the sauce. 6. Add the chicken next, then the red onion, then the mozzarella, then cilantro. 7. Bake the pizza for 10 to 12 min or until the crust is light brown.
