Bbq Chicken Pizza

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time18 minutes
Total Time33 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough or store-bought crust
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce plus a little extra for drizzling
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or cubed
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded (optional but delicious)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, slide it in to heat up. Don’t skip this step or you’ll end up with a floppy disaster.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. If you like a thick crust, keep it chunky; if you’re into crispy edges, flatten it a bit more. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. The sauce should sing, not drown the dough.
  • Top with mozzarella, then chicken and red onion. If you’re feeling cheesy, sprinkle cheddar on top for extra meltiness.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. If you’re using a stone, check a minute earlier to avoid a char show.
  • Remove from oven, drizzle with a little more BBQ sauce, and garnish with cilantro or parsley if you want a fresh pop. Slice and serve hot.
