Description

We love this unique and flavorful pizza, with sweet strawberries and balsamic glaze with chicken, bacon, and cheese. Unexpected, delicious!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha Chili Sauce
  • 1 ball pizza dough
  • 1 cup diced or shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup thin sliced sweet onion
  • 12 ounces shredded Italian blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, diced small

Instructions

  1. Place pizza stone or sheet pan on middle rack of oven. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Place balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until reduced to half of the original volume and mixture is thick and syrupy. Add strawberry preserves and Sriracha and mix well. Set aside to cool.
  3. Pat or roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately a 14 inch circle. Place a piece of parchment paper on a pizza peel or an upside down sheet pan. Sprinkle parchment paper lightly with cornmeal. Fold dough in quarters and place on parchment paper, then unfold.
  4. Combine chicken with 2 tablespoons of the balsamic-strawberry mixture and mix to coat all chicken with sauce. Pour rest of sauce onto pizza dough and spread to cover, leaving a 1 inch border all around the edge. Scatter chicken evenly over the sauce.
  5. Place about 3/4 of the cheese on top of dough and spread to cover sauce evenly. Scatter bacon and sweet onion over cheese to distribute evenly. Scatter remaining cheese over this layer.
  6. Slide parchment paper with pizza on top onto stone or cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and fresh diced strawberries. Serve and enjoy!
