Manwich BBQ Chicken Pizza

 


I recently discovered these yeast rolls in the frozen section of Walmart, and now I use them for everything from cinnamon rolls to pizza crust. 

The sauce is made with Manwich, which has such an amazing balance of acidity, smokiness and sweetness. So good! 

Ingredients: 

  • 16 ounce can Manwich Bourbon BBQ sauce.
  • 3 frozen chicken breasts (40 ounces; boneless, skinless).
  • 1 yellow or red onion.
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • 6 frozen dinner rolls (Rhodes Bake N Serv).
  • Garnish with butter and garlic powder. 
Directions:
  1. Put 6 dinner rolls on a plate and cover with a medium glass bowl, and sit in a window to thaw; about 2 hours. 
  2. Pour chicken in a 2.5 quart bowl and fill with water. Allow to thaw as well. 
  3. After 2 hours, combine all the rolls together with your hands, and knead it until de-gassed. It should be one large roll now. Cover it with the bowl again, and leave it in the window for 2 more hours. 
  4. Check the chicken for frozen spots. Drain the water and refill with new water. Allow to continue thawing for 2 more hours. 
  5. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and place into an instant pot and sauté for 13 minutes, stirring regularly. 
  6. While that's sautéing, grab your dough ball and form it into a pizza by using your thumbs in the center of the ball, and working your way to the edges by rotating and pressing and gently stretching. 
  7. Lay stretched pizza onto a baking sheet lined with nonstick foil, and use your hands to stretch it out and gently flatten it into a round shape. 
  8. Remember to be stirring your chicken regularly during all of these additional steps. 
  9. Use a fork to make little holes all over the dough (to prevent air bubbles when rising. 
  10. Dice the onion and place it into a large bowl. 
  11. When the chicken is done, drain the broth and save it for other uses (you may have to cook it longer before consuming).
  12. Add chicken to onions, and top with Manwich and mozzarella, and stir well. 
  13. Use about a third, or one half of this mixture to top the pizza with, making sure it's evenly dolloped with mixture. 
  14. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. 
  15. Cut a tbsp of butter and smear the edges of the crust all over. 
  16. Sprinkle crust with garlic powder. 
  17. Cut into pizza slices and serve. 
  18. Reserve remaining filling for another pizza. 
Serves 2 per night, but up to 6 total.
