BBQ Chicken Pizza

Okay, so I LOVE food, I DESPISE chain restaurants, I CRAVE homemade goodness and I am a SUCKER for Pizza!  So I have created the ultimate BBQ Chicken Pizza to do at home with quickness and fun.  All the ingredients I found at my local Aldi's which is just about the only place I shop now for my baking supplies.  It's the closest market and by far the most wallet-friendly.  And yes...I forgot a picture of the final product, I was too busy shoving the food in my mouth to snap a quick pic. Sorry, not sorry.


Ingredients:
Store bought roll-out pizza dough  ~~  Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
3 Boiled Chicken Breasts (shredded)  ~~ 2 Cups Colby Jack Shredded Cheese- Thick Sliced Mozzarella 
1 Cup Ricotta Cheese ~~ Cilantro ~~ Cumin ~~ Garlic ~~Fresh Cilantro if available

Preheat your oven to 350 (or whatever your dough tells you to do.)  
Roll out the Dough on a baking stone, or a 9 x13 metal pan
Sprinkle the crust all over with spices and then pour on enough BBQ sauce to thinly cover the dough.




 Take your Mozzarella and slice the fresh ball into thin circles and place over the BBQ Sauce.  
Drop quarter size amounts of Riccotta in between the Mozzarella.


In a separate bowl, coat your Shredded Chicken in your BBQ sauce and evenly distribute over the top of the Mozzarella and Ricotta


Top with Shredded Cheese a light dusting of Spices and Fresh Cilantro (if available.)


Bake on 350 for 12 - 15 minutes.  
As much as you are tempted DO NOT EAT RIGHT OUT OF OVEN.  
The Mozarella and Ricotta are deceivingly HOT in the middle.  
Let cool for 5 -10 minutes to avoid melting the top of your mouth!
