Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for at least 15 minutes.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to desired thickness and transfer to a greased pizza pan. Brush edges with olive oil.
  3. Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and mix with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce.
  4. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Distribute the BBQ chicken pieces and sliced red onions over the cheese.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the chicken and onions.
  7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, and then garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Don't overload the pizza with toppings to avoid a soggy crust. Using a pizza stone can enhance crispness.
