Description
A crowd-pleasing pizza with tender BBQ chicken, melty cheese, tangy sauce, and fresh spring onions—perfect for nights when you want a delicious homemade twist on a classic favorite.
Ingredients
1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, enough for a 12-inch crust)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
½ cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded smoked gouda or cheddar cheese
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)
2–3 tablespoons sliced green onions (scallions)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 475 °F (245 °C), with pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with ½ cup BBQ sauce until well coated.
Roll or stretch pizza dough to a 12-inch round and transfer to a lightly floured pizza peel or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Evenly distribute the sauced chicken across the pizza. Sprinkle with sliced red onion.
Top with shredded mozzarella and smoked gouda (or cheddar).
Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with more BBQ sauce if desired.
Garnish with green onions and chopped cilantro or parsley before slicing and serving.
