Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (or homemade dough for one pizza) Pizza dough
- 2 cups, shredded Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
- 2 large Avocado
- 1 cup, quartered Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 large (juiced) Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out onto a floured surface and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Scatter the shredded chicken breast evenly over the barbecue sauce layer.
Top the chicken with the shredded mozzarella cheese and distribute the thinly sliced red onion on top.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
While the pizza is baking, prepare the avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, dice the avocados and add the quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Slice the pizza and serve each portion with a generous scoop of the fresh avocado salsa on top.
Enjoy your Chicken Pizza with Avocado Salsa!
