Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Cornmeal or flour (for pizza stone or baking sheet)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean surface, then roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or to the size of your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling, and lightly brush the top of the dough with olive oil.
In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce to coat them evenly.
Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce-covered dough, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the BBQ-coated chicken pieces on top of the cheese layer, spacing them out evenly.
Scatter the thinly sliced red onions across the pizza and transfer it (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh burst of flavor.
Slice the pizza into your desired pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade BBQ chicken pizza!
