• ½ cup strawberry preserves or jam
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha chili sauce (or other chili sauce on hand)
• 1 ball prepared pizza dough , this recipe or store-bought
• Cornmeal
• ¼ onion , thinly sliced
• 1 grilled chicken breast , cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 slices applewood smoked bacon , cut in 1 inch pieces, cooked and drained
• 1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro , finely chopped
• ¼ cup fresh strawberries , diced small

• Place the pizza stone in the lower middle of the oven and preheat to 500?F.

• Bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to half and mixture thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the strawberry preserves and chili sauce. Mix well; set aside to cool.

• Roll out the pizza dough to a 12 or 14-inch circle. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper lightly dusted with cornmeal. (For me, it's easier to pat the dough into it's circle while already on the parchment paper.)

• In a small bowl, combine the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the balsamic-strawberry mixture and stir to coat all chicken. Spread the rest of the sauce over top of the pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.

• Sprinkle ¾ cup of cheese evenly over the sauce. Scatter the chicken, bacon and sweet onion over the cheese to distribute evenly. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

• Transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto the hot pizza stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 1 to 2 minutes. Top with the fresh strawberries and cilantro. Serve hot.
