Ingredients

• 1 piece Thin pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Cooked shredded chicken breast
• 0.5 cups Barbecue sauce (smoky and sweet)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 stalks Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

Prepare the pizza crust by brushing it with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle the crust with garlic powder for added flavor.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 4

Spread the remaining barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce, followed by the cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the barbecue-coated shredded chicken over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Scatter the sliced scallions across the top of the pizza, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.

Step 8

For an optional kick, sprinkle red chili flakes over the pizza.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (place it on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet) and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, additional scallions, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce if desired.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful and crispy pizza!
