BBQ Chicken Pizza on the Grill

A great way to cook during the heat of summer or in a power outage is on your BBQ grill. In addition to the traditional grilling you can do, you can also cook pizza on the grill :) Here is a recipe from Pampered Chef for pizza on the grill:

Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

1 small red onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups shredded
cooked rotisserie chicken
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
2 tsp finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
Cornmeal for dusting
1 lb pizza dough
6 oz Colby Jack cheese, grated
Additional fresh oregano leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare grill for indirect cooking over medium-high heat. Slice onion crosswise and separate onion slices into rings. Slice garlic. Combine chicken, 1/2 cup of the sauce, oregano and black pepper in small bowl; toss to coat.

2. Generously sprinkle a pastry mat with cornmeal; place dough onto center of mat. Roll dough into a 12-in. circle. Place dough onto BBQ Pizza Pan, gently stretching to cover bottom.

3. Spread remaining 1/2 cup sauce evenly over crust to within 1/2 in. of edge. Top with chicken mixture, garlic and onion; sprinkle with cheese.

4. Place pizza pan on grid of grill. Grill, covered, 18-22 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown, carefully rotating pan occasionally. Remove pizza pan from grill. Sprinkle pizza evenly with additional oregano, if desired. Remove pizza from pan; cut pizza into 12 slices.
