Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 2 breasts)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce until coated.
Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, stretch each half into a 12-inch round.
Place one dough round on a floured pizza peel or parchment. Spread 1/4 cup barbecue sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
Top with half the chicken, half the mozzarella, and half the red onion.
Slide pizza onto hot stone or baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until crust golden and cheese bubbly.
Repeat with remaining dough and toppings. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

Tips

For extra smoky flavor, use smoked mozzarella or add a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken.
Leftover pizza keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or oven.
