Ingredients

• 1 package Pre-made pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Plant-based chicken strips
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 12-inch circle or to your preferred thickness.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza peel or another baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.

Step 5

Spread 3/4 cup of barbecue sauce evenly over the oiled pizza dough.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the plant-based chicken strips with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce and toss to coat.

Step 7

Scatter the barbecue-sauced plant-based chicken strips evenly over the prepared pizza crust.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the sliced red onion and red bell pepper over the pizza.

Step 9

Sprinkle both the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top of the vegetables and chicken strips.

Step 10

With a quick motion, slide the pizza off the peel (or the secondary baking sheet) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 11

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Barbecue Chicken Pizza Slice!
