Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Alabama white sauce (mayonnaise-based BBQ sauce)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons Extra Alabama white sauce (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a seasoning rub.
Brush the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture on all sides.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes, then dice it into small cubes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. If using a grill, be sure it's no thicker than 1/4 inch to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent the dough from sticking. Place the rolled-out dough on the prepared surface.
Spread the Alabama white sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Evenly distribute the diced grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese, red onion slices, and cherry tomatoes across the pizza.
Transfer the pizza to the grill. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
Carefully remove the pizza from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board.
Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with extra Alabama white sauce, if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
