BBQ Chicken Pizza

GREAT "Stay In" fare for tonight!
(serves 6)

3 (4 oz.) chicken breast cutlets
1/2 t. freshly ground pepper
1/8 t. kosher salt
2 t. brown sugar
1 t. smoked* paprika
1 t. garlic powder
Cooking spray
12 oz. refrigerated pizza dough
2 t. medium* ground yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup no-sodium ketchup
3 T. yellow mustard
1 T. white vinegar
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices (optional*)
4 oz. fresh "wet" mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Place pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in oven. Preheat oven to 450. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with S&P. Combine brown sugar and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Set aside 2 t. spice mixture, and rub the remaining mixture evenly over chicken. Heat a grill pan over med.-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken; sauté 3 mins. on each side or until chicken is done. Let chicken stand 10 mins.; slice thinly against the grain. Roll dough into a 14x9" rectangle or a 14" circle on a lightly floured surface; pierce dough with a fork. Lightly coat dough with cooking spray. Carefully remove pizza stone from oven. Sprinkle cornmeal over pizza stone; add dough. Bake for 9 mins. Combine reserved spice mixture, ketchup, mustard, and vinegar in a small sauce-pan over med heat. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook 3 mins. or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Remove partially cooked crust from oven; spread ketchup mixture evenly over crust, leaving a 1/2" border around the edges. Top with chicken, onion, jalapenos, and cheese. Bake for 10 mins. or until cheese is browned. Sprinkle with cilantro and slice.
