Ingredients:

  • 1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 oz cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp BBQ sauce for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Combine the 10 oz cubed chicken breast, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, and 1 tsp garlic powder in a medium bowl. Note: Toss until every piece is fully coated to prevent drying.
  2. Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a baking sheet greased with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce across the base. Note: Leave a 1 inch border for the crust to rise.
  4. Distribute 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  5. Nestle the coated chicken and 1/4 cup sliced red onion into the cheese.
  6. Place the pizza in the 425°F (218°C) oven.
  7. Bake 12-15 minutes until the crust is mahogany brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  8. Remove and immediately garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  9. Finish with a 1 tbsp BBQ sauce drizzle across the top for that extra tang.
