Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball store-bought or homemade vegan pizza dough
- 300 grams vegan chicken strips
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 200 grams vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and vegan chicken strips. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and slightly crispy.
Add half of the BBQ sauce to the skillet with the vegan chicken. Stir well to coat the strips evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the vegan pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape and thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the cooked BBQ chicken strips over the sauce layer.
Top with red onion slices, red bell pepper slices, and shredded vegan mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the entire pizza.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
