Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Store-bought pizza dough
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the seasoned chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, and then dice into bite-sized pieces.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle or rectangle depending on your preference, about 12 inches in diameter or to fit your baking sheet.
Sprinkle cornmeal or flour on a piece of parchment paper. Place the rolled-out dough on the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and the cheddar cheese over the barbecue sauce as your base layer.
Evenly distribute the diced cooked chicken, sliced red onion, and thinly sliced jalapeño over the cheese layer.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese for an extra gooey layer.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza!
