Equipment
- - Pizza stone or baking sheet
- - Oven
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- - 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand
- - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- - 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- - 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- - Olive oil for brushing
- - Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- **Prepare the Chicken**: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-cook until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, about 7-8 minutes on each side. Let the chicken rest before slicing it into thin strips.
- **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
- **Assemble the Pizza**: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and transfer it to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- **Top the Pizza**: Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the dough. Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the sauce, then sprinkle with both mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Add the sliced red onions evenly across the pizza.
- **Bake**: Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.
- **Finish and Serve**: Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for a fresh touch. Slice and enjoy!
