Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting, optional) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.
Prepare your pizza dough by stretching or rolling it out into a 12-inch circle. If you prefer a crispier crust, roll it thinner. Dust your baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil to create a barrier that will help prevent the dough from getting soggy. Set it aside.
In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce to coat it evenly.
Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the barbecue sauce base.
Distribute the coated chicken and thinly sliced red onions evenly over the pizza.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly to ensure good coverage.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, place the pizza directly on the stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, for a fresh and herby finish.
Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces and serve hot. Enjoy your homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza!
