Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting, optional) Cornmeal
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.
Step 2
Prepare your pizza dough by stretching or rolling it out into a 12-inch circle. If you prefer a crispier crust, roll it thinner. Dust your baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil to create a barrier that will help prevent the dough from getting soggy. Set it aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce to coat it evenly.
Step 5
Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Step 6
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the barbecue sauce base.
Step 7
Distribute the coated chicken and thinly sliced red onions evenly over the pizza.
Step 8
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly to ensure good coverage.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, place the pizza directly on the stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, for a fresh and herby finish.
Step 11
Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces and serve hot. Enjoy your homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza!
