This delightful recipe combines the smokey goodness of barbecue sauce with tender chicken breast, the crunch of fresh vegetables, and the creamy texture of Monterey cheese, all atop a hearty pita bread. It's a quick, delicious meal perfect for any night of the week.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Place the pita bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the pita bread.
- Arrange the sliced chicken breasts evenly over the BBQ sauce.
- Scatter the thinly sliced red onion and pepper over the top of the chicken.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey cheese evenly over the veggies and chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita bread are crisp.
- Remove the pita pizza from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Marinate the Chicken: Before cooking, marinate the chicken breasts in some extra BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Pre-Cook the Vegetables: For a softer texture, sauté the red onion and pepper in a little olive oil before adding them to the pizza.
- Use a Pizza Stone: If you have one, use a pizza stone to cook the pizza. It helps distribute heat evenly, resulting in a crispier pita bread crust.
- Experiment with Cheese: While Monterey cheese is delicious, feel free to mix in or substitute with other cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for added flavor.
- Garnish Before Serving: Add fresh coriander leaves just before serving for a burst of freshness and color.
Your BBQ Chicken Pita Pizza is now ready to be enjoyed! With its melty cheese, vibrant vegetables, and perfectly cooked chicken, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves for an extra touch of flavor.
