Ingredients

• 1 large ball pizza dough
• 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside as it heats.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean work surface with cornmeal.

Step 3

Roll out the pizza dough on the cornmeal-dusted surface to your desired thickness and shape.

Step 4

Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to prevent it from getting soggy.

Step 5

Evenly spread the BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 6

Scatter the shredded chicken evenly over the BBQ sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the chicken.

Step 8

Distribute the thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.

Step 9

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 14

Slice and enjoy your homemade BBQ pizza!
