Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about ⅔ lb.) ($3.22)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika ($0.05)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder ($0.02)
  • ⅛ tsp salt ($0.02)
  • ⅛ tsp pepper ($0.02)
  • ½ Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce ($0.11)
  • 1 prepared pizza dough ($0.62)
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce ($0.22)
  • 4 oz. Monterey jack cheese, shredded ($0.85)
  • 1 jalapeño (optional), sliced ($0.15)
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion ($0.11)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Season both sides of the chicken breast with the spices.
  • Heat a skillet over medium. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165ºF). Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board.
  • Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then chop into small pieces. Add ¼ cup BBQ sauce to the chopped chicken, and stir to coat the chicken in the sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Place the prepared pizza dough or crust on a pizza pan, then spread about ½ cup BBQ sauce over the surface.
  • Add the cheese, BBQ chicken, sliced jalapeños, and sliced onion to the pizza.
  • Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust and cheese are golden brown. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
