The cowboy way


It may be hot outside but my craving for pizza never leaves me, only now, it is joined by BBQ and grilling cravings. What's a girl to do? Perhaps employ her husband to cook a BBQ and smoked chicken pizza on the grill, that's what!

Take any raw pizza dough (we used the Betty Crocker that you mix with water) and put it on the grill. I think it's easier to divide the dough in half, or even in four, as one large pie may be a little too difficult to handle when turning sides. Make sure to check frequently to prevent burns! Turn to brown the other side too. Now turn down the grill temperature, as to not burn the crust further when you try to melt the toppings. Apply BBQ instead of marinara or olive oil, since not only delivers more flavor, but also is lighter is calories for those who like to stay in shape!Toppings may include smoked chicken, mozarella and Asiago cheese and home grown banana peppers for some heat! Some websites recommend broiling the pizza with raw toppings in the oven for a nice brown top. As you may see, we opted for the grill all the way, which did leave the toppings a little pale, but they were melted just enough!
