BBQ Chicken Pizza

Again this recipes is a huge hit.  The flavors are so bold and distinct in this pizza.  I rarely make it on the grill.  I just use the broil option on the oven.  I broil the bottom side of the crust before I start adding toppings.  Once you put it back in the over to melt the cheese, watch it closely, it will burn quickly.


1 small onion, very thinly sliced
1 tsp. canola oil
1 10 oz package prebaked thin, plain or whole-wheat Italian Pizza crust like Boboli
1/4 cup tangy BBQ sauce
8 oz cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
1.5 oz shredded Gouda cheese (1/2 cup shredded cheese)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Heat grill to med-high.  In non stick skillet over med-high heat, or in a skillet set over the grill, cook onion in hot oil for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.  Season with salt to taste.  Spread crust with BBQ sauce.  top with sauteed onion and chicken slices, then sprinkle with cheese.  Place pizza over direct heat on grill for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crust is lightly charred.  Move to the side of the grill indirectly, with cover down, for 5 minute, or until cheese is melted and chicken is hot.  Sprinkle with cilantro.
