Instructions
BBQ Chicken Topping Preparation
-
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
-
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
-
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through.
-
Brush both sides of the chicken with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
-
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Pizza Preparation
-
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature (usually around 500°F or as high as it will go). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
-
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
-
Remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle it with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
-
Carefully transfer the rolled-out pizza dough to the hot stone or sheet.
-
Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over the dough as the base.
-
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
-
Arrange the grilled chicken strips and red onion slices evenly over the cheese.
-
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
-
Transfer the pizza (on the stone or sheet) back into the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
-
Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, slice, and serve hot.
Note
Serve the BBQ Chicken Pizza hot and fresh, straight from the oven. It's a delightful combination of barbecue goodness and pizza comfort that pairs well with a side salad or coleslaw.
