This BBQ chicken pizza combines smoky BBQ sauce, juicy chicken, melty cheese, and crisp crust for a perfect family night meal that’s quick, easy, and customizable.

Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • BBQ Sauce (smoky, slightly sweet)
  • Cooked Chicken (shredded or diced, seasoned with salt and pepper)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Red Onion (thinly sliced)
  • Fresh Cilantro (optional, chopped)
  • Olive Oil (for brushing the crust)
  • Optional Toppings: Bacon bits, jalapeños, pineapple

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 12 inches wide. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel.
  3. Brush the crust with olive oil to help it crisp up beautifully.
  4. In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce until well-coated.
  5. Spread an even layer of BBQ sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
  6. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
  7. Distribute the BBQ chicken evenly over the pizza, followed by sliced red onions.
  8. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  9. Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t overload the toppings to avoid a soggy crust.’, ‘Pre-cook your chicken for even cooking.’, ‘Use a pizza stone for a restaurant-quality crust.’, ‘Let the dough rest if it springs back while rolling.’, ‘Experiment with different BBQ sauce flavors for variety.’]
