Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, toss it in there to heat up too.
  • Roll out that pizza dough on a floured surface. Go for your desired thickness, then transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Grab your barbecue sauce and spread it nice and even over the dough. Remember to leave a small border around the edges!
  • Top your saucy dough with shredded chicken and thinly sliced red onions. Then sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese.
  • Carefully transfer the pizza to your preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove it from the oven and sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top. Slice and serve hot!

Notes

You can prep the pizza ahead of time. Just roll out the dough, prebake, and layer toppings. Store covered in the fridge and bake when ready to eat.
