BBQ Chicken Pizza

I love making Homemade pizza, crust included. You can make any creation that you want. This is my Husbands favorite pizza. I really like it too. Although I pick off the red pepper. But he likes it and I like him, so I put the red pepper on. The crust is just perfect.
Mix all your crust ingredients together (sorry I didn't get a picture of the crust process, but it is really straight forward). Press into a pan and sprinkle with a little more seasoning. I like to put foil on my pan and then spray with Pam (or any non-stick spray)
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Just until the crust is cooked through.
Slice your onions, pretty thin.
Carmelize them with Butter. I like to add alittle brown sugar at the end.
Slice your pepper and fry, just until they are a little soft. If you like crunchy peppers on your pizza then don't fry them, just put them on pizza.
Cut and fry your chicken breast. When it is fully cooked add enough BBQ sauce to give the chicken a nice coat of sauce.
Spread BBQ sauce over your cooked crust. Don't go light. Your crust will soak up some of the sauce and so if you don't have enough on there it will almost be too dry when you eat it. You want to be able to taste the BBQ sauce.
Sprinkle with a little Mozza.
Then load on all your toppings.
Cover with cheese. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Until all the cheese is melted.

Slice and serve!!!!

Dough
2 cups warm water
1 tsp sugar
2 heaping tbsp yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil

Turn up the oven temp to 425 degrees.
Pizza
2 chicken breasts
2 medium onions
2tbsp butter (maybe more)
1 tbsp brown sugar (more if you want it sweeter)
1 red pepper
BBQ sauce
Mozza cheese
Cover your crust with enough BBQ sauce for a nice 'saucy layer'. Sprinkle with a small amount of mozza cheese.
Slice your onions and add to pan along with butter. Caramelize your onions. You may need to or want to add a little more butter. You can add brown sugar if you want them sweeter. They will turn a nice caramel color and be soft. Remove from pan and place on pizza
Slice pepper thinly. Add to pan and cook until tender. Like I said, if you want crispy peppers, don't cook them. I just like the peppers soft. Place on pizza.
Cube the chicken breasts and cook in pan until cooked through. Add BBQ sauce to pan and coat chicken cubes. Add to pizza.
If you want you can use 3 different pans and cook them all at the same time, but I like to just use one pan. Less dishes.
Cover the pizza with Mozza Cheese.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!!
