Barbecued Chicken Skillet Pizza

From

August/September 2008

Omitting the yeast from our Skillet Pizza created the thin crust we wanted, and the addition of baking powder to the dough gave us a light and crisp texture. To eliminate bubbles in the pizza dough, we used a fork to pop the bubbles as the first side cooked in the skillet—poking before cooking impeded the rise.

We replaced the water in the dough with a bold dark brown ale to add a strong yeasty flavor to the pizza dough. To keep the cooking process quick and simple, we topped the pizzas with potent no-cook ingredients: Fresh tomatoes (salted and drained to eliminate excess moisture) and basil worked as the base flavors and were easily dressed up with goat cheese and chicken. Soft cheeses melted best in the covered skillet, especially when we turned the heat down low after adding them so they melted without burning the bottom crust.

Serves 2

To save time, combine the cheeses and prepare the dough while the salted tomatoes are draining. When popping the bubbles in the dough in step 3, do so gently to avoid scratching the nonstick pan.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christopher Kimball
