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 onion, Sliced into strips
  • 1 green pepper, 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

Method

  • Sprinkle seasonings on chicken breast - then dredge them in Italian salad dressing.
  • Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour at 350°. 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 375°.
  • 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.
