- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded or thinly sliced grilled chicken
- ½ cup bbq sauce
- 2 tbsp jalapeno slices
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 2 tsp minced garlic OR ¼ cup garlic cloves
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp crumbled cotija cheese
- cilantro, cracked sea salt, and black pepper for topping
Crust
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tsp olive oil plus more as needed
- 2 ¼ cup flour plus more as needed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup ver warm water
Instructions
- PREPARE THE CRUST: add water to a large bowl. Stir in sugar, then sprinkle in yeast. Allow to rest 5 minutes until foamy. Whisk in salt and oil.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour. Flour a clean, flat surface and transfer dough to this space. Knead for 2-3 minutes until dough becomes elastic. Brush all over with oil, place in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Punch down, cover and allow to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Roll dough out to into a large circle 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Place on a 16-inch piece of Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil and transfer to a preheated grill. Close the grill and cook for 5 minutes, flip over to cook on the other side for 5 minutes. If crust is browning too quickly, move it an area of the grill where it will not be directly over the flames.
- Flip back over so the oiled side is up and drizzle half of the bbq sauce on top. Top with mozzarella, chicken, garlic, onions, and jalapenos. Cook another 10 minutes.
- Top with remaining bbq sauce, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Cut into slices and serve.
