Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

• Dough for one large pizza
• 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded rotisserie or about 2 chicken breasts
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/4 large red onion, very thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro, to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat and prebake crust: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Place your prepared pizza dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone and prebake it for 6 minutes to set the crust.

2. 2

   Apply initial toppings: Spread a thin, even layer of barbecue sauce over the pre-baked pizza crust. Then add a thin layer of shredded mozzarella cheese followed by the thinly sliced red onion.

3. 3

   Prepare chicken topping: In a bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with a few tablespoons of barbecue sauce and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly.

4. 4

   Add chicken and finish layering: Spread the sauced chicken evenly over the pizza, then sprinkle another thin layer of mozzarella cheese on top. Finish by adding chopped fresh cilantro according to your taste preference.

5. 5

   Bake the pizza: Place the pizza back in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 10–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove carefully, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
