Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for one 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal or all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a clean and lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Dust a piece of parchment paper with cornmeal or flour. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the parchment paper.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to help create a crispy crust.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Evenly distribute the shredded or diced cooked chicken over the sauce.
Add the thinly sliced red onions on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the pizza, ensuring good coverage.
Carefully slide 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 bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top as a fresh finishing touch.
Slice the pizza into 6-8 slices and serve warm. Enjoy!
