Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade, if preferred)
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your pizza crust. Place the crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  2. Assemble the Pizza:
    1. Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
    1. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce.
    1. Distribute the shredded chicken and red onion slices evenly across the pizza.
    1. Top with the remaining cheese.
  3. Bake:
    Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh, zesty finish. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a smoky or spicy barbecue sauce for added flavor complexity.
  • Add sliced jalapeños or bell peppers for extra texture and heat.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on an oven rack or pizza stone.
