Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pizza dough (pre-made or store-bought)
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up while the oven preheats.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil to create a golden crust.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce.
Evenly distribute the shredded chicken and red onion slices on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the chicken and onions.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper, if applicable) to the hot pizza stone or leave it on the baking sheet if not using a stone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of flavor.
Allow the pizza to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza!
