Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (12-14 inches) Pre-made pizza crust
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. If desired, lightly brush the crust with olive oil to enhance its crispiness.
Spread barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce as the first cheese layer.
Arrange the cooked chicken and red onion slices evenly over the mozzarella cheese.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and all of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Season the pizza lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the pizza as a fresh garnish.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Ez Cheezy Barbecue Pizza!
