Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

•          2 tbsp active dry yeast

•          1 cup warm water
•          3 cups all-purpose flour
•          1 tbsp olive oil
•          1 tsp salt
•          1 cup Barbecue sauce, divided

Place pizza base on a sprayed 12 inch pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Poke pizza base several times with a folk to prevent bubbles from forming.
• Place pizza pan on the electric grill, cover and grill over the medium heat for 10-15 minutes until bottom is lightly browned. Remove pizza crust from grill.
