Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade ball (about 1 lb) Pizza dough
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped (optional) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for dusting) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. For a crispy crust, aim for about 1/4 inch thick.
If using a pizza peel or baking sheet, sprinkle it lightly with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pizza peel or baking sheet.
Brush the dough with olive oil, especially around the edges to help it brown nicely during baking.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza, leaving about an inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Top the pizza with shredded cooked chicken, distributing it evenly over the BBQ sauce.
Layer the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the chicken, making sure to cover the toppings but leaving the edges of the crust exposed.
Evenly distribute the sliced red onions over the cheese layer.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot oven (or onto the pizza stone). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top (if using) for a fresh finish.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Slumber Party BBQ Chicken Pizza!
