Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Thin pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Cooked shredded chicken breast
- 0.5 cups Barbecue sauce (smoky and sweet)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Prepare the pizza crust by brushing it with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle the crust with garlic powder for added flavor.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
Spread the remaining barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce, followed by the cheddar cheese.
Evenly distribute the barbecue-coated shredded chicken over the cheese layer.
Scatter the sliced scallions across the top of the pizza, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
For an optional kick, sprinkle red chili flakes over the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (place it on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet) and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, additional scallions, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful and crispy pizza!
