Ingredients
- 1 ball (1 pound) Pizza dough
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded smoked gouda cheese
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 3
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to help achieve a crisp crust.
Step 4
Spread 3/4 cup of the barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce to coat it evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce on the dough.
Step 7
Evenly distribute the barbecue chicken on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced red onions.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the smoked gouda cheese over the toppings.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly charred.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh pop of flavor.
Step 11
Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your smoky barbecue BBQ chicken pizza!
