Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 556kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ball homemade pizza dough or 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
- ½ cup BBQ sauce divided
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
- ½ cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese (2 ounces, can substitute mozzarella)
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500° F and place an oven rack one space above the bottom rack position. Oil a pizza steel or baking sheet with a high temperature cooking spray or vegetable oil.
- Roll/stretch out the pizza dough to a 12 to 14-inch round and place it on the prepared pizza pan.
- Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the pizza dough, reserving the remaining BBQ sauce to toss with the chicken. Sprinkle the mozzarella and smoked gouda cheeses evenly over the sauce.
- Put the chicken in a small bowl and toss it with the remaining BBQ sauce. Evenly distribute the chicken, sliced red onion and chopped green onions over the pizza.
- Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese and crust begin to lightly brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 3-5 minutes. Then sprinkle on the chopped cilantro, slice, and serve.
Notes
- My pizza dough recipe makes two balls of pizza dough, enough for two pizzas. You can freeze the second ball of dough for later.
- Recipe can be doubled to make two pizzas.
