Ingredients
- 1 Pre-made pizza crust or homemade dough
- 1 Cup Cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ Cup Barbecue sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- ½ Cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ Red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ Cup Cilantro, chopped Optional
- ½ Cup Sliced bell peppers Optional
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
- Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce until well coated.
- Roll Out the Dough: If using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Assemble the Pizza: Remove the hot baking sheet or pizza stone from the oven, and carefully place the crust on it. Brush the crust lightly with olive oil. Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly across the crust. Scatter the sliced red onion and optional bell peppers over the chicken, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle a bit of extra barbecue sauce on top, sprinkle with chopped cilantro if using, and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot!
