BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

Cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Mozzarella cheese

2 cups, shredded

Red onion

1/2 cup, thinly sliced

Cooked chicken

1 cup, shredded

BBQ sauce

3/4 cup

Pizza dough

1 pound

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats to achieve a perfectly crispy crust.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. For a crispier crust, roll it thinner; for a doughy crust, keep it thicker.
3. Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
4. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken and thinly sliced red onions over the sauce.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and onions, making sure it's evenly spread to ensure uniform melting.
6. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
7. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This makes it easier to slice and lets the flavors meld together even more.
8. Finally, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top of the pizza just before slicing and serving, adding an extra layer of flavor and freshness.
