California Pizza Kitchen Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Being from California, CPK was a regular part of my life growing up. In fact, every summer, my parents would take us to Palm Springs a few times, and we would go to a movie and eat at CPK. This is my dad's absolute favorite kind of pizza. Too bad he lives 3,000 miles away.

Get it together, dad.

Ingredients:

• Pizza dough
  • I get mine from Trader Joe's, and it costs $1. Granted, you can make it yourself, but most days, I'm okay with just paying the money.
• Olive oil
• Mozzarella cheese
• Barbecue sauce
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen)
• 1/4 red onion
• Fresh cilantro

Directions:

• Before you leave for work in the morning, throw the frozen chicken breasts into a crock pot and cover generously with barbecue sauce. Let it sit all day on low
• When you get home, tear up the chicken with two forks and set aside
• Spread out the pizza dough into a circle and place on baking/pizza sheet
• Lightly brush olive oil over pizza dough and spread one tablespoon-full of barbecue sauce onto the pizza dough
• Evenly spread the chicken across the top of the pizza dough
• Top generously with mozzarella cheese
• Throw some slices of red onion on top of the cheese
• Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden
• Top with cilantro and serve with salad

I'm going to admit that I am not a big barbecue person, and I don't like red onions. But I love this pizza.

Love and new tastes,
