Preparation
Start the pizza
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Set the dough aside to come up to room temperature.
- Halve, core and thinly slice the sweet pepper lengthwise.
- On the back of a well-oiled sheet pan, roll or spread the dough out to a ½ inch thickness for a thick crust or ⅛ inch for a thin crust.
- Spread with ½ the BBQ sauce, the cheese and sweet pepper.
- Bake the pizza on the bottom rack of the oven, 16 to 20 min., until the dough is golden brown.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve, core and thinly slice the apple; toss with a splash of the vinaigrette to prevent browning.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Place in a bowl of ice water and let sit for at least 5 min. Drain the onion.
- Separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
- Pat the chicken dry and cut into 1⁄2 inch strips; season with S&P.
Cook & coat the chicken
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken and remaining BBQ sauce. Cover and cook, stirring often, 4 to 6 min., until the chicken* is cooked through.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add 1 to 3 tbsp water to achieve a saucy consistency.
Finish the pizza
- When the pizza is golden brown, top with the chicken, sauce and ¾ of the onion.
Make the salad
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, apple, and remaining onion and vinaigrette.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pizza (cut into wedges) between your plates.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
