Description

A flavorful BBQ chicken pizza with tender chicken, tangy barbecue sauce, red onions, and melted cheese, perfect for a casual dinner or weekend treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired size.
  2. Brush the pizza dough with olive oil, then spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
  3. Top the pizza with the shredded chicken and red onion slices.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, if desired.
  5. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Once out of the oven, garnish the pizza with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
  7. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, use a BBQ sauce that contains liquid smoke or add a few drops of liquid smoke to the sauce.
  • You can substitute the chicken with pulled pork or sausage for a different variation.
  • Top with additional ingredients like bacon, bell peppers, or corn for added texture and flavor.
