American · Main course · 35 min total

A smoky, tangy BBQ chicken pizza on a crispy thin crust, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or game day snack.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Gouda cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce until coated.
3. On a floured surface, stretch dough into a 12-inch round, keeping edges slightly thicker.
4. Dust a pizza peel or parchment paper with cornmeal. Transfer dough to peel.
5. Brush dough with olive oil, then spread remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Gouda cheeses over sauce. Top with BBQ chicken and red onion slices.
7. Slide pizza onto preheated stone or sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbly.
8. Remove from oven, drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro. Slice and serve.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, par-bake the crust for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
• Leftover pizza can be reheated in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
• Substitute Gouda with smoked mozzarella for a deeper smoky flavor.
