Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cornmeal for dusting
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions.
- Once rolled out, transfer the dough to a pizza peel or a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Spread the barbecue chicken evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
- Arrange the thinly sliced red onions on top of the cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the hot pizza stone.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
- Slice and serve hot. Enjoy!
