Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade ball Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 medium-sized, cooked and shredded Chicken breast
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
If using store-bought pizza dough, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before rolling out. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.
Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Top the pizza with cooked and shredded chicken, distributing it evenly across the sauce.
Add thinly sliced red onions, followed by the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven by sliding it onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious BBQ Chicken Pizza!
