Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 piece Boneless chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a clean surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Scatter cornmeal on a pizza peel or the backside of a baking sheet. Lay the rolled-out dough over it.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Top with sliced chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and red onions evenly across the pizza.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top before slicing.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.
