BBQ Chicken Pizza
BBQ Chicken Pizza combines smoky sauce, tender chicken, melty cheeses, and fresh cilantro for a sweet and savory masterpiece—perfect for pizza night!
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups leftover shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 10 Tbsp BBQ sauce such as Stubb’s Original BBQ Sauce
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F and get your baking sheet or pizza pan ready by giving it a light coat of olive oil.
- Sprinkle some cornmeal over your work surface, then roll out your pizza dough into a nice 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough onto your prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Using a small ladle (or the back of a spoon), spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges for that perfect crust.
- Now it’s time to pile on the toppings! Add the chicken, both kinds of cheese, and sliced onion. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Pop your pizza into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese is beautifully melted.
- Serve it hot, and if you’re feeling fancy, garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
