Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lightly dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour and roll out the pie crust if using homemade dough. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and trim any excess edges.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 3/4 cup of barbecue sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
Brush the bottom of the pie crust with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Spread a thin layer of the remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce evenly on the bottom of the crust.
Layer 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce.
Add the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the cheese, spreading it out evenly.
Scatter the sliced red onion across the chicken layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese, followed by the cheddar cheese, over the chicken and onion layers.
Season the top of the pie with salt and black pepper.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Garnish the pie with freshly chopped cilantro before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken BBQ Pizza Pie!
