How To Make bbq chicken and hickory smoked bacon pizza

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray pizza pan with PAM.
  • 2
    PIZZA DOUGH: Place ingredients in pan of bread machine in the order they are listed.
  • 3
    Select 1-lb setting and then select dough cycle and start your machine. NOTE: While dough is kneading, prepare pizza filling.
  • 4
    Once machine has finished it's work, oil hands and stretch dough by allowing the dough to hang from your hand while turning it slowly in a circular motion. Once the appropriate size or close to size you need, lay onto pizza pan, pierce a few times with a fork. Press edges out as needed to fit your pan. If you are already a pro with pizza and can toss, then toss your pizza dough. I've not mastered that yet! Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes; remove from oven and top with pizza filling.
  • 5
    NOTE: do not roll out the pizza dough or you will have a tough dough. NOTE: If using store bought dough, prepare as instructed on package.
  • 6
    PIZZA FILLING: Fry bacon, drain on paper towels and set aside. Reserve bacon drippings.
  • 7
    Cut chicken breat into medallions or strips about 1/4 inch thick, maybe slightly thickery. Fry chicken in about 2 tablespoons of the hot bacon grease over medium heat, flipping a couple of times. Reduce heat to med/low and continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Turn heat off and let chicken cool in bacon grease. Once cool enough to handle, drain chicken pieces on paper towels.
  • 8
    Shred chicken with hands or 2 forks. Place in bowl and add about 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, toss to combine; set aside.
  • 9
    Spread 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce over pizza dough. Top with chicken and bacon; top with cheese.
  • 10
    Return to hot preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes.
