TEX-MEX BBQ PIZZA

Category: Pizza

4 to 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (12-inch) prepared pizza crust
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp diced mild green chilies
2 to 3 small tomatoes, seeded, sliced
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, chopped

Preheat oven to 450. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in large saucepan over high heat. Add chicken; cover, remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Drain; cut into small cubes.

If recommended cooking time for crust is longer than 5 to 7 minutes, prebake crust until this amount of time remains.

Combine barbecue sauce, onion and lemon juice in small bowl; spread over crust leaving 1/2-inch border. Top with chicken; sprinkle with chilies and tomatoes. Sprinkle cheese evenly over top. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese begins to brown. Cut pizza into 8 wedges and top with cilantro.
