Chicken In Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, onions, salt and 5 cups water in a 12-inch high-sided saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and bay leaf, and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook the chicken, partially covered, until cooked through, about 35 minutes. (To check for doneness, slit the chicken in half to make sure the interior is no longer pink.) Remove the chicken (reserve the broth) and allow to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, shred by hand and place in a medium bowl.
• Remove enough broth to leave about 2 cups in the pan with the onions and garlic (cool and refrigerate or freeze the extra broth for another use). Remove the bay leaf. Add the tomatillos and jalapenos and cook until the tomatillos are olive green, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the solid ingredients (onions, tomatillos and garlic) to a blender. Add the cilantro and process until smooth (using some of the liquid in the pan if needed). Season with salt and pepper. Pour the salsa back into the saucepan and bring to a boil; add the chicken and cook until the flavors incorporate, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To assemble the empanadas: Dust a flat surface with flour. Roll out the pizza dough about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Using a 6-inch round cookie cutter (or a bowl or plate with the same diameter), cut the dough into circles. Expect to get about 3 circles from 1 pound of dough. Brush the egg wash over the surface of one dough round. Add 2 tablespoons of filling onto half of the circle and sprinkle about 1 ounce of mozzarella on top of the filling, if using. Fold the plain half over the filling. Seal the edges with fork tines or crimp decoratively. Repeat for the remaining empanadas. (Save any leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week for another use.)
• Transfer the empanadas to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the empanadas with the egg wash. Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Open and drain canned chicken through my whole oven is preheating to 350.
• Place chicken in a thin layer on a parchment paper covered pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until the chicken becomes dry.
• Turn oven to 500.
• Remove and place into a bowl. Add cheese and egg.
• Stir to combine.
• Spread into a pizza shape onto the pan lined with parchment. The thinner, the crisper the crust.
• Bake for 5-8 minutes depending on thickness.
• Cover with desired toppings and bake for 8 more minutes or until cheese and topping have cooked.

Steps:

• Prepare pizza dough (see recipe following). While dough rises, prepare baked chicken and vegetables.
• After dough has risen and chicken has finished baking, turn dough onto a lightly floured board.
• Cut off a small piece of dough the size of a tennis ball to use for a top decoration.
• Form remaining dough into a ball and roll out to a 12 x 17-inch rectangle. Place chicken, breast side down, in the middle of the dough.
• Arrange vegetables around chicken.
• Wrap sides and ends of dough over chicken.
• Turn right side up and place on a baking sheet. Brush surface with beaten egg.
• Roll out reserved piece of dough.
• Using a cookie cutter, cut out a design and place on top of dough wrapped chicken.
• Brush with egg.
• Bake in pre- heated 425 degrees oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
• To serve, let everyone tear off the bread, then cut up the chicken.
• PIZZA DOUGH: Dissolve yeast, sugar and salt in warm water.
• In large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and yeast mixture; beat with an electric mixer several minutes.
• Stir in enough additional flour to make a stiff dough.
• Turn out on a floured board and knead 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat surface of dough with oil.
• Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk (about 2 hours).

Steps:

• Arrange the cubed chicken in a medium bowl and toss with 1/2 cup olive oil, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro. Season lightly with salt. Let marinate for about 1 hour, refrigerated.
• In a skillet large enough to hold all of the chicken in 1 layer, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Saute the chicken just to brown on all sides.
• Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F. Brush the rolled out pizza dough lightly with oil and top the pizza dough with the mozzarella, fontina, plum tomatoes, eggplant, onion, chives, Parmesan, and chicken. Place on the pizza stone and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4-cup warm water.
• In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and mix on low speed until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes. (The pizza dough can also be made in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse once or twice, add the remaining ingredients, and process until the dough begins to form a ball).
• Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
• Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• To prepare each pizza, dip the ball of dough into flour, shake off the excess flour, place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface, and start to stretch the dough. Press down on the center, spreading the dough into an 8-inch circle, with the outer border a little thicker than the inner circle. If you find this difficult to do, use a small rolling pin to roll out the dough.
• Yield: 8 servings

Steps:

• Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Shape the pizza dough into a ball, add it to the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Position racks in the upper third and middle of the oven. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the top rack and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay out a sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the ball of dough to the parchment and roll it out into a 10-inch round, stretching it with your hands as needed. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil, cover with another piece of parchment and set aside to let rise slightly, about 30 minutes.
• While the dough rises, mix 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl. Put the chicken in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper and brush with the barbecue sauce mixture. Bake on the middle oven rack until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Uncover the dough and spread with the remaining 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Top with the chicken, gouda, mozzarella and red onion. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet, then slide onto the hot stone or baking sheet; bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Drizzle a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Mix together the chipotle mayo, honey and lime zest and juice in a bowl. Add the slaw mix to a medium bowl, top with two-thirds of the dressing and toss; season with salt and pepper. Cover the slaw and remaining dressing and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Pull or roll the risen bread dough into a large rectangle and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dough. Spread with the BBQ sauce and top with the mozzarella. Arrange the chicken strips over the sauce and cheese. Bake on the bottom oven rack until the crust is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, pile on the slaw, sprinkle over the pickles and jalapeños and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Slice into pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and chicken, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes, until fully cooked.
• Scrape the chicken into a mixing bowl along with the Parmesan, Buffalo sauce and scallions. Mix and then cool for 10 minutes.
• Roll out pizza dough and cut into four 4-inch squares. Place a slice of mozzarella in the center of each square and top with the filling. Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash and fold over the sides to seal.
• Place the pockets on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut or shread chicken into small pieces.
• On a cookie sheet, unroll the Recipe Creation dough.
• Spoon pizza/spaghetti sauce onto the dough and spread evenly over all of the dough.
• Even layer the mushrooms, chicken and cheese.
• Start rolling the dough over itself from one of the longest sides. When you roll it approximately half way, take the other edge and overlap it to create a complete "log".
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare dough.
• While dough is rising or sitting, steam broccoli and cook chicken with olive oil, oregano and basil to taste, until no longer pink.
• Spread the dough into a prepared jelly roll pan.
• Bake for about ten minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop cooled chicken into small chunks and chop steamed broccoli.
• Combine chicken, Ricotta cheese, broccoli, 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, dry mustard, and crushed red pepper.
• Remove crust from oven.
• Spread with ricotta mixture.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Cook until cheese is browned (10 to 15 minutes).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix chicken, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl with your hands. Fold in chopped basil.
• Place chicken mixture between two pieces of parchment paper. Gently spread mixture into a circle or rectangle about 1/4-1/2-inch thick. Remove top parchment paper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Top with your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in the water and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes. Be sure that the water is not hot; temperatures of 120 degrees F and above will kill the yeast, and your dough will not rise.
• Combine other ingredients (except the additional tsp olive oil) + combine with dissolved yeast. Allow these 2 ingredients to mix gradually; use at low speed to mix dough. Mix 2 to 3 minutes, until dough is smooth + elastic.
• Mix only until a smooth dough ball is formed.
• Place dry ingredients in a 4 to 6 quart bowl; make a well in the middle and pour in liquids (reserving tsp of olive oil). Combine ingredients. Lightly oil your hands and begin kneading the dough; knead for 5 minutes. When done the dough should be slightly tacky (that is, it should be barely beyond sticking to your hands).
• Lightly oil the dough ball and the interior of a 1-quart glass bowl. Place the dough ball in bowl and seal bowl w/ food wrap. Set aside at room to rise until double in bulk - about 1 ½ to 2 hours.
• Punch down the dough, re-form a nice round ball and return it to the same bowl; cover again w/ wrap. Refrigerate overnight, airtight.
• About 2 hours before you are ready to assemble pizza, remove the dough from refrigerator. Divide dough into 2 equal portions (or 4 equal portions if making appetizer-sized pizza or if smaller 6-inch pizzas are desired).
• Roll the smaller doughs into round balls on a smooth, clean surface; be sure to seal any holes by pinching or rolling.
• Place the newly formed dough balls in a glass casserole dish, spaced far enough apart to allow for each to double in size. Seal the top of the dish airtight with clear food wrap. Set aside at room temperature until the dough balls have doubled in size (about 2 hours). They should be smooth and puffy.
• To stretch and form the dough for pizza: Sprinkle a medium dusting of flour over a 12x12-inch clean, smooth surface. Use a metal spatula or dough scraper to carefully remove a dough ball from the glass casserole dish, being very careful to preserve its round shape. Flour the dough liberally. Place the floured dough on the floured smooth surface. Use your hand or rolling pin to press the dough down forming a flat circle about ½-inch thick. Pinch the dough between your fingers all around the edge of the circle, forming a lip or rim that rises about ¼-inch above the center surface of the dough. You may continue this outward stretching motion of the hands until you have reached a 9-inch diameter pizza dough.
• To dress the pizza:Lightly sprinkle cornmeal, semolina or flour over the surface of a wooden pizza peel. Arrange the stretched dough over the floured peel surface. Work quickly to dress the pizza so that the dough won't become soggy or sticky from the sauces and toppings.
• When you are ready to transfer the pizza to the pizza stone in the preheated oven, grasp the handle of the peel and execute a very small test jerk to verify that the pizza will come easily off the peel. If the dough doesn't move freely, carefully lift the edges of the dough and try to rotate it by hand. Extreme cases may require that you toss more flour under the dough edges.
• Once the dough is moving easily on the peel, open the oven and position the edge of the peel over the center of the stone about 2/3 from the front of the stone. *Jiggle and tilt the peel to get the pizza to start sliding off. When the pizza begins to touch the stone, pull the peel quickly out from under it. Don't attempt to move the pizza until it has begun to set (about 3 minutes). The peel can be slid under the pizza to move it or remove it.
