BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

For the Pizza:

• 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade dough)

• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand)

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great!)

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Toppings:

• Sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick

• Crumbled bacon for extra flavor

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (or follow the instructions for your pizza crust).

2. Prepare the Chicken:

1. In a small bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce to coat evenly.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

1. Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

2. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

3. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the BBQ sauce.

4. Add the BBQ chicken evenly over the cheese layer.

5. Top with red onion slices and any optional toppings like jalapeños or bacon.

4. Bake the Pizza:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

5. Garnish and Serve:

1. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

2. Slice and serve immediately, maybe with a little extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
