BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 pound store-bought pizza dough or pre-baked crust
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Cornmeal or flour for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, pop it in now!
  • Prepare Dough: On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
  • Sauce & Chicken: Toss the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  • Top It Off: Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Scatter the BBQ chicken and red onion slices over the cheese.
  • Bake: Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  • Finish: Remove from oven, sprinkle with cilantro, and drizzle with a little extra BBQ sauce if you like. Slice and serve immediately!
