Mini Barbeque Chicken Pizzas

From: $5 Dinners

Ingredients

• Homemade Pizza Dough , made whole or as mini-pizzas ($.78)
• 2 chicken breasts ($1.75)
• About 1 cup BBQ sauce ($.25)
• About 1/2 cup pizza sauce ($.30)
• 1 red onion, diced ($.40)
• About 4 sprigs of cilantro leaves ($.50)
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (I used part regular, part dairy and soy free) ($1.25)
• Side of fresh fruit ($.50)

Directions

• Prepare the homemade crust. Or buy them from the store.
• Cut up the chicken breast into bite size pieces and then add them to a skillet with the BBQ sauce and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over medium heat until the pieces have cooked through and are coated with BBQ sauce. Will take 5-10 minutes, depending on size of the pieces.
• Spread the pizza sauce over the large pizza or smaller ones. You don’t want it to be too much and let the tomato flavor over power the other flavors.
• Add the cooked chicken pieces, the diced red onion and cilantro leaves. Sprinkle the cheese over top.
• Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, or until crust has cooked and the cheese begins to golden.
• Slice, serve and be merry!

We added bacon bits to this also. We really like this. I think this is my new favorite pizza!!
