An absolutely delicious combination! You can use a rotisserie chicken and store bought crust to make this very quick and easy, but you must make the Teriyaki sauce, it is the best in the world!
Ingredients:
This recipe makes 1 scrumptious pizza!
Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 tsp of ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 5 Tbs of brown sugar
- 1 Tbs of honey
Pizza:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 tsp of canola oil
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- Fresh mozzarella cheese, about 1- 8 oz ball, cut into small pieces
- 1 pizza crust, either store bought or home made
- Optional: 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, reduced by half for drizzling over pizza
Start by caramelizing the onion. Add the oil to a heavy skillet, saute the sliced onion for about 15 minutes over medium heat. Remove to a bowl. Combine the teriyaki sauce ingredients in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Shred the chicken, using two forks, then place it in the same skillet that the onions were cooked in and pour the teriyaki sauce in. Let it simmer until the chicken absorbs all of the sauce, about 10 minutes.
Pre-bake your pizza crust in a 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle on the chicken, then the caramelized onions and top with the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes or so. This is totally optional but so good, add some balsamic vinegar to a saucepan and let it reduce by half, drizzle over the finished pizza before serving.
*I used a pizza crust mix from the grocery store, just add water to the flour mixture, let rest a few minutes, turn out onto a floured board, knead a few minutes, roll into desired shape and place on a floured baking sheet or a pizza stone.
