BBQ Chicken Pizza - Yum

Pizza on the Big Green Egg has become a favorite at our house. It is easy to make and we have had great results.

This pizza has a fairly thin crispy crust.

Ingredients:

• Pre-made Pizza Dough Ball ( I get mine at Publix ) (I think this is the dough they use for their Italian Bread)
• Chicken (1 or 2 breasts depending on desired degree of meatiness)
• Barbecue Sauce
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (about 8oz )
• The Dizzy Pig - Pineapple Head Rub  <Link to The  Dizzy Pig>
• Pineapple Chunks - (about a cup)
• General purpose flour. (a few tablespoons aid in working the dough)

Tools:

• Calphalon Pizza Pan   < Pizza Pan Link >
• Plate Setter (BGE)
• Big Green Egg - 350-400 degrees 
• Big cutting board for cutting up the wonderfulness

 Time to Table : 1 hour 30 minutes

Steps:

• Set the Pizza Dough out on the counter for one hour. This is the final rise.
• Apply Rub to Chicken ( I use boneless skinless breast )
• Fire up the Big Green Egg and set to 350-400 degrees. NOTE: The Calphalon Pan is only rated to around 400 degrees.
• Once the grill is up to temperature cook the chicken (approx 5-10 minutes depending on thickness). Remove chicken from the grill
• Put the plate setter on the grill, feet down, close the lid and allow the heat to stabilize at 350-400
• Cover the chicken and let it rest until you are about ready to roll out the pizza dough, then cut into small bite size chunks.
• Once the hour wait for the dough is completed, remove it from the bag and dust it and your hands lightly with flour.
• Plop the dough into the center of the pizza pan and mash and stretch it till it is almost fills the pan. This will take a few minutes. It is ok if it is not perfectly round. Check the web for better instructions.
• Spoon on a thin layer of BBQ sauce. Spread to within a half inch of the edge of the dough.
• Distribute the cut up chicken pieces across the sauce.  A little is ok, a lot is better. 
• Distribute the pineapple chunks evenly.
• Spread the cheese across the top of the pizza until it looks yummy.
• Place the loaded pizza pan directly on the plate setter and let it cook for 20-30 minutes until the bottom of the crust is browned and top starts taking on some color.
• Remove the pizza from the grill and slide off onto large cutting board and divide up the goodness.
