Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Chicken Topping
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Garnish
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions provided with your pizza dough to ensure the best baking temperature for a crispy crust.
- Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded cooked chicken breast with BBQ sauce until each piece is well coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread a thin, even layer of BBQ sauce over the surface of the dough. Then, evenly arrange the BBQ chicken, thinly sliced red onions, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake it according to the dough’s instructions, or until the crust turns golden brown and the mozzarella cheese has melted and become bubbly, usually around 12-15 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes before baking.
- You can substitute mozzarella cheese with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a richer taste.
- Use homemade pizza dough or your favorite store-bought brand for convenience.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the dough for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
- Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven or air fryer for best results.
