Ingredients

For the Pizza Base:

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust or homemade dough
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

For the Toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Prepare the Pizza:

  1. Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
  2. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce.
  3. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken and red onion slices over the cheese.

Bake:

  1. Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
  2. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
  • Make it extra cheesy by adding parmesan or gouda.
  • To prevent a soggy crust, brush a thin layer of olive oil on the crust before adding sauce.
