Ingredients

• 3 slices thick cut applewood smoked bacon
• 1½ pounds chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks
• ½ c onions, chopped
• 1 package McCormick Smoky Applewood BBQ Chicken with Bacon Skillet Sauce
• 1 1-pound package pizza dough
• 8 oz of fresh mozzarella OR 1½ c of shredded
• 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced on diagonal

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Remove pizza dough from the refrigerator to get to room temperature while you prepare the toppings.
• Cut bacon into ½ inch pieces. Cook over medium high heat in a skillet until crispy. Drain onto paper towels and set aside.
• Drain bacon fat from skillet except for 1 Tablespoon (or enough to coat bottom of the pan). Cook chicken over medium high heat until cooked through, turning as needed. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on how big your chicken pieces are.
• Once chicken is cooked through, add McCormick Smoky Applewood BBQ Chicken with Bacon Skillet Sauce. Heat until sauce is warmed, about 2-3 minutes.
• On a greased cookie sheet, gently stretch the dough out until it’s about ½” thick. The key is to be patient and use the dough’s weight to stretch it out. If you try to work it too quickly, it won’t keep its shape. It’ll just snap back. You can make the pizza rectangular or round. It’s up to you.
• Once you’re happy with your dough, start adding the toppings. Start with the BBQ chicken and its sauce. Make sure to spread the sauce around as evenly as you can. Top with cheese, then the bacon.
• Bake pizza for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has started to brown. Garnish with sliced green onions before slicing and serving.
