Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1/2-1 cup Italian salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon california garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup Open Pit Barbecue Sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon molasses
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper ( Depends on your taste, opt)
1 large onions, Sliced into strips
1 green peppers, Sliced into strips
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup olive oil, for sauteing
1/2-1 cup ranch dressing
1 (12 inch) pre-baked prepared pizza crust
6 slices provolone cheese
1 1/2 cups Italian cheese blend, shredded
Directions:
Sprinkle seasonings on chicken breast – then dredge them in Italian salad dressing.
Bake for 45 minutes – 1 hour at 350F. This seasons the chicken nicely and gives it a wonderful flavor. When the chicken is done set it aside to cool – then cube it.
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine barbecue sauce, honey, molasses, brown sugar, cayenne pepper (if desired) and cubed chicken. Bring to a boil.
Saute onions and green peppers; set aside.
Spread ranch dressing over pizza crust. Place slices of provolone cheese over ranch dressing. Spread chicken mixture evenly on top of cheese.
Top with sauteed onions/green pepper mix, then sprinkle with shredded Italian cheese blend.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Option: try drizzling extra ranch dressing over the chicken – then top with cheese.
NOTE: If the chicken barbecue mixture is soupy – use a slotted type spoon to scoop it out and place it on the pizza – you don’t want it to soupy. I also strain my onion and pepper mixture.
