Ingredients

• 1 package Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Mix
• 1.25 cups Warm Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast
• 0.5 cup Gluten-Free Barbecue Sauce
• 0.5 medium Red Onion
• 1.5 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone by lightly dusting with gluten-free flour or lining with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the gluten-free pizza crust mix. Follow the package instructions to combine with warm water, olive oil, and the egg. Mix until well incorporated and a dough forms.

Step 3

Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour, then transfer the dough and gently knead for a few minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone, shaping it into your desired thickness and size for a pizza crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until it starts to set but is not browned.

Step 6

While the crust is baking, shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces. Slice the red onion thinly and chop the fresh cilantro roughly.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the gluten-free barbecue sauce evenly over the partially baked crust.

Step 8

Distribute the shredded chicken and sliced red onions evenly over the sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the toppings.

Step 10

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden brown appearance.

Step 11

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with the roughly chopped fresh cilantro before slicing into wedges and serving.
