GF Grilled Chicken Caesar Pizza

Ingredients:

1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast- grilled

olive oil

sea salt and black pepper

1 Gluten Free Bistro Pizza Crust

1/4 cup Roasted Garlic Paste (recipe to follow)

1 cup fontina cheese, shredded

1 heart of romaine, cut crosswise into 1/2" wide ribbons

2 tbs gluten-free caesar salad dressing (such as Organicville, Annie's or Newmans Own)

2 tbs fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

 

Directions:

Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat.

 

Brush chicken breast with 1 tbs olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken on the cooking grate directly over the heat and grill until no longer pink in the middle (about 10-12 minutes).  Set aside and when almost ready to use, slice into 1/4 inch strips. 

 

Spread garlic paste on GF pizza crust, then top with chicken and sprinkle with Fontina cheese. 

 

Grill pizza for approximately 10 minutes on low to medium heat (careful to not let the bottom burn). Grill until bottom is crispy and cheese is melted and bubbly. Just before the pizza is done, toss the romaine lettuce with the dressing and 1 tbs of Parmigiano cheese in a medium bowl. 

 

Remove pizza from grill and immediately top with romaine mixture. Sprinkle remaining Parmiagano cheese on top, season with salt and pepper. Slice and serve immediately.

 

ENJOY! 

 

Roasted Garlic Paste

Ingredients:

3 heads garlic

3 tbs olive oil, plus more for drizzling 

Kosher salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F

Remove the first layer of papery skin from the garlic. Slice off 1/4 inch from the pointy top. Place each head on a sheet of aluminum foil, cut side up. Drizzle with the oil and season with salt. Wrap each head in the foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let cool. (You can also do this on the grill, cooking over indirect heat.) 

Remove the roasted cloves from their skins. The most efficient way to do this is to squeeze the whole head from the bottom. Using a fork, vigorously mix the garlic and oil together. Add a pinch of salt. (If your recipe calls just for a clove or two of roasted garlic, you can remove it from the skin using a small escargot-style fork.)

This will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
