Sourdough Alabama White BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza

Molly LaFontaine
My sourdough Alabama white BBQ chicken bacon pizza is so creamy, savory, and cheesy. It's made completely from scratch from the white sauce to the sourdough crust. I created this pizza to replicate our favorite down in Chattanooga, TN. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Servings 1 medium pizza

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp avocado oil (or coconut oil)
  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 LB. uncured bacon
  • 1 homemade sourdough pizza dough (recipe link in notes below)
  • 1 batch of homemade Alabama white bbq sauce (recipe link in notes below)
  • 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • Optional- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Pan-Sear Chicken

  • Heat avocado oil in a medium to large sized skillet over medium heat.
  • While oil is warming, cut chicken breast into small bite sized pieces (about 1/2 inch each).
  • Add diced chicken into a bowl with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir to evenly coat.
  • When oil is hot, add chicken to pan. Let chicken pieces cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Don’t move them while cooking.
  • Once golden brown, flip each piece. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside for now.

Bake the Bacon

  • While chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees (If you're using a pizza stone for the pizza, place it in the oven now).
  • Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the bacon strips on it so they’re not touching.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 tsp pepper all over the top of the bacon so they're evenly seasoned.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until bacon is fully cooked and crisp.
  • Carefully, with tongs, place cooked bacon strips on a plate lined with paper towel or a napkin to remove grease. Set aside for now.

Assemble & Bake Pizza

  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness you desire (1/4" for thin crust or 1/2" for hand-tossed). Make this a circle or rectangle, shape is up to you. If you'd like a crust around the edges, use your finger to roll up the sides all around the dough.
  • Place crust on a parchment lined baking sheet pan or a preheated pizza stone and bake for 10 minutes without any toppings.
  • While it’s baking chop cooked bacon into pieces and shred cheese if you haven't already.
  • When crust has pre-baked, add Alabama white sauce (as much as you desire), cooked chicken, chopped cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional Parmesan cheese.
  • Optional crust flavor: brush a little melted butter, avocado oil, or olive oil on the crust then sprinkle on a little garlic powder and sea salt around the edges.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven, let sit for 2-3 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
