1 piece Pizza dough Freshly made or store-bought

Toppings

1 cup Cooked chicken breast Shredded or chopped
1/2 cup BBQ sauce Divided - 2 tbsp for chicken and remainder for spreading
1 cup Mozzarella cheese Shredded
1/4 cup Red onion Sliced
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Chopped or torn for garnish
1 tablespoon Olive oil For brushing crust

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 475°F and roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer rolled dough to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet; brush the edges with olive oil.
Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce until well coated.

Assembly

Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the BBQ chicken pieces and sliced red onions evenly over the cheese, then top with remaining mozzarella cheese.

Cooking

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle fresh cilantro over the hot pizza before serving.

Notes

Enhance flavor by adding spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika. Customize with your favorite veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms. Serve with a side of extra BBQ sauce for dipping!
