Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 0.5 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn kernels, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce layer.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken, charred corn, black beans, and red onion slices over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese and the cheddar cheese over the toppings.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the prepared pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Slice into pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Southwestern BBQ Chicken Pizza!
