SMOKEY BAR-B-Q CHICKEN PIZZA

Category: Pizza

1 (12 inch) pizza crust
1 tbsp butter, softened
12 oz cooked chicken, cut into strips
1 cup Barbecue Sauce, smoky flavored, divided
4 oz Smoked Gouda Cheese, shredded
4 oz Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced into rings
1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
1 (4.2 oz) can black olives, sliced

Preheat oven to 450. Line a vented pizza pan or large baking sheet with parchment baking paper that has been trimmed so edges will not hang over the pan or touch the oven wall. Place pizza crust on the parchment lined pan, rub the crust and the rim with softened butter.

In medium bowl mix chicken strips with 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the buttered crust up to the rim. Top sauce with coated chicken strips, cheeses, bell pepper rings, onion rings and olives. Reduce oven temperature to 425. Keeping pizza on the pan bake for 13 minutes. To crisp the crust remove from the parchment-lined pan and place crust directly on the oven rack for 3 minutes.
