Method:

Dough:

• Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
• Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the melted butter and water and mix to form a soft dough.
• Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then place it in an oiled bowl. Cover with clingfilm and leave it to rise for 1 hour.

Chicken:

• Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large pan and fry chicken for about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the BBQ sauce and basil, then stir to coat the chicken evenly.
• Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and sticky. Set aside.

Assemble:

• Place the dough onto a floured surface.
• Using your fingers, press the dough into a greased 25cm cast-iron skillet or an ovenproof dish.
• Cover the base with tomato paste and top with the chicken mixture.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes before you remove it from the oven.
• Sprinkle the pizza with tomatoes and cheese, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through and the cheese has melted.
• Top off the dish with avocado and fresh basil just before you serve this tasty delight!

Cook’s note: If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, roll out the pizza dough and bake it on a baking tray.
