When it gets warm outside cooking can be a challenge. You want to eat good food, but you do not want use your oven our stove because it can warm up the house. At my house we grill a lot in the summer so that the house does not get warm. Because I do not want to give up any of my favorite foods when the temperature is high, I decided to use the grill to make one of my favorite foods, pizza.
Using the grill like the oven is a great way to keep the heat out of your kitchen and the grill gives your food a great flavor. Using the grill for foods other than hot dogs, steak or hamburgers can be different at first but with a little practice I know you will be able to do it.

Ingredients:
Grilled BBQ Chicken
8 oz Chicken Breast (One Large Chicken Breast)
Grilled BBQ Chicken
8 oz Chicken Breast (One Large Chicken Breast)
1/8 Cup BBQ Sauce (To Marinate Chicken), Use your favorite kind of tomato based BBQ sauce.
Caramelized Onions
Caramelized Onions
1 ea. Red Onion, Cut Into Strips (1 Medium Onion)
-To cut an onion into strips, first take the dry paper like skin off of your onion.
Then cut off the root and plant ends. Onions are round and they can roll so
be very careful. Place the onion on one of the flat sides and then cut it in half (2 half
moons). Put the onion on cutting board flat side down. If you cut the onion into strips with
the curve you will have half moon strips. If you cut against the curve you will have strips.
1 tsp Butter or Margarine
1 Tbl. Olive Oil
1 tsp Boullion Base, Chicken Flavor
-I choose base over powder because I do not like to use products with MSG, and dried
boullion usually has MSG in it.
1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
2 Tbl. Sherry or Port Wine
-Cooking the wine will remove the alcohol from the wine. If you do not want to cook with
alcohol you can leave it out.
Other Ingredients
1 ea Pizza Crust
1/4 Cup BBQ Sauce
3/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1/4 Cup Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola

3. Pre-heat grill. If you are using charcoal pile the briquettes on one side of the grill.
4. Coat your chicken in BBQ sauce. Put chicken on the grill close to the heat but not directly over
the flame. If you put the chicken directly over the fire it will burn the sugar in the BBQ sauce and
turn your chicken black. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn chicken 90 degrees to the right and cook
for 3 more minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes depending
on the thickness of the chicken. If you are checking with a thermometer the chicken should be
cooked to 165F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let cool.
5. Pre-heat your sauté pan on medium high heat. Add butter and olive oil to the pan. When the butter
melts add the onions. Stir the onions so that they do not burn 2-3 minutes. When the onions begin to
brown and start to turn translucent (a little see through) add the salt, pepper and base, and mix well.
Cook for another 2 minutes stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Sherry.
Mix well. Cook on low for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit.
