BBQ Chicken Pizza

A delicious BBQ chicken pizza that balances sweet and savory flavors, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus 2 tablespoons
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet and brush the edges with olive oil.
  2. Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce until well coated.
  3. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  4. Distribute the BBQ chicken pieces and sliced red onions evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the hot pizza before serving.

Notes

For a crispier crust, bake your pizza stone or pan in the oven while preheating. Don’t skip the fresh cilantro; it adds a vibrant touch that enhances the overall taste.
