BBQ Chicken Pizza



 Date night with the hubby!! Tonight was movie night with my husband! This week he picks the movie and I make  the dinner. I was trying to think of something that was "MAN" food! I really wanted tonight's dinner to be all about him with a little twist. Of course I would pick Pizza! Living in Buffalo, pizza is everything to everyone here.

I wanted something a little more exciting than the normal pepperoni pizza. But also something that would stretch my skills a little bit. While I was in the grocery store I came across a brand new BBQ sauce that was on the shelf, Guy Fieri's Kansas City BBQ sauce, I needed to try this sauce. Guy Fieri is one of our favorite hosts to watch on the Food Network. So then I had the perfect idea- BBQ Chicken Pizza- Totally a man dinner with a little woman twist! 

Ingredients

2 chicken breast- cubed
1/2 cup bbq sauce
handful of cilantro
1 tomato
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 cup cheddar jack cheese
dried basil

Directions
In a stove top pan cook your chicken. When cooked add bbq sauce and let simmer 10 minutes.

Using a rolling pin roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to fit onto your pizza pan.

Coat the top of your dough with BBQ sauce



Add all your mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce
Add all your BBQ chicken on top of the cheese
Add your tomatoes on top of the cheese (I don't like tomatoes so I only put them on half. I used 1/2 of a tomato for this recipe)
Add all of your cheddar jack cheese on top of the tomatoes 
Sprinkle your handful of cilantro on top and sprinkle some basil on top. (my husband thought it was better off without the cilantro, however I liked it. So that can be your choice)
Put in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. 
Serve and enjoy!
