Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 0.5 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn kernels, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred. Remove from heat.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce layer.
Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken, charred corn, black beans, and red onion slices over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese and the cheddar cheese over the toppings.
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Slice into pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Southwestern BBQ Chicken Pizza!
