Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough
- 1 piece chicken breast
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Place the dough on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breast until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Spread the sliced chicken evenly over the BBQ sauce.
Thinly slice the red onion and distribute evenly over the pizza.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pizza, followed by cheddar cheese.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the pizza with fresh cilantro leaves before slicing and serving.
