Ingredients
- 1 lb Pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded or chopped)
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Cornmeal (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and set a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Step 2
Dust a clean work surface or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape.
Step 3
Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil to help create a crispy crust.
Step 4
Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Step 5
Scatter the shredded chicken over the BBQ sauce, distributing it evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza, followed by the parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Top with thinly sliced red onions and a little extra BBQ sauce drizzle, if desired.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to make slicing easier.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
