Lovely Leftover Pizza

      So in my last recipe post, I mentioned that I made an extra piece of BBQ chicken. Well I used that chicken to make one of my favorite quick dinners... BBQ chicken pizza! Here's Watcha need:

1 package of uncooked pizza dough (I get mine for cheap from Trader Joes, and it's the best in my opinion)
1 BBQ chicken breast
1/2 Medium white onion
1 Bell pepper (your choice of color I used 1/2 red 1/2 green)
1 Sprig of cliantro
1 Bottle of BBQ sauce (whatever was used on the chicken)
1 Small package of shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400*

Start out by taking the dough out of the packaging and putting it on a lightly floured cutting board. Let it hang out there for 20 minutes and don't touch it.

 While you're waiting, chop the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside.

Also chop up the onion, bell peppers, and cilantro.




After the dough is done resting, get out your pan. It can be sqaure, round, whatever. I used a pizza stone for mine. Depending on what you're comfortable with, you can either roll the dough or stretch it. Stretching it is more challenging but more effective. Once you've got your dough in the pan, start layering on your toppings:


Sauce first of course!





                                                Pile everything else on however you'd like.

                          Pop it in the oven. 20-30 minutes later you'll have this lovely little number:








Let it stand for a few minutes, slice and enjoy!!!
