Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (1 pound) Pizza dough
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded smoked gouda cheese
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to help achieve a crisp crust.
Spread 3/4 cup of the barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce to coat it evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce on the dough.
Evenly distribute the barbecue chicken on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced red onions.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the smoked gouda cheese over the toppings.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly charred.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh pop of flavor.
Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your smoky barbecue BBQ chicken pizza!
