Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade dough (12-inch) Pizza dough
- 1 cup (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (to prevent sticking) Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat along with the oven.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour or cornmeal. Roll out the pizza dough to form a 12-inch circle. Transfer it carefully to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil to create a crisp crust when baked.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter the shredded chicken evenly over the barbecue sauce layer.
Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the entire pizza, making sure they’re well-distributed.
Add the thinly sliced red onion on top of the cheese layer.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Three Cheese BBQ Chicken Pizza!
