BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade if preferred)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). - Prepare the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until well coated. - Roll Out the Pizza Crust:
If using a pre-made pizza crust, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone. - Assemble the Pizza:
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil. Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the red onion slices and cheddar cheese. - Bake:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. - Garnish and Serve:
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Feel free to customize your pizza with additional toppings like bell peppers, jalapeños, or mushrooms.
- Serve with a side salad for a complete meal!
