Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough or crust
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Olive oil, for brushing the crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 245°C. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up.
  1. Prepare the Pizza Base:
  • Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Lightly brush the crust with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.
  1. Assemble the Pizza:
  • Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  • Scatter the shredded chicken over the sauce, followed by the red onion slices.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the toppings, then add the grated Parmesan if desired.
  1. Bake the Pizza:
  • Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  1. Finish and Serve:
  • Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Drizzle a bit more BBQ sauce over the pizza for extra flavor.
  • Slice and serve hot!
