Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Gluten-free pizza crust
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the gluten-free pizza crust according to the package instructions, typically by prebaking for 5-7 minutes if not already cooked.
While the crust is prebaking, slice the red onion into thin rings and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken breast with 1/4 cup of the gluten-free barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven and brush it lightly with olive oil.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
Scatter half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce-covered crust.
Evenly distribute the barbecue-coated chicken pieces over the cheese layer.
Add the red onion slices on top of the chicken to provide a sweet crunch.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the pizza.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling with a light golden hue.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving and season with a little salt and black pepper to taste.
Cut the pizza into 8 slices and serve warm.
