This is the best BBQ Chicken Pizza! Tomato sauce as the base, plenty of melty cheese, saucy bbq chicken and a pop of red onion and cilantro for freshness.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb pizza dough *see note
  • 1 cup tomato sauce (I like Rao's or Mutti)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup bbq sauce
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 tbsp cilnatro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. 
  2. Grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with oil or butter. I used a 12″ pan and it yielded a thick crust. Use a larger pan or divide in half and roll thin for a thinner crust. 
  3. Spread pizza dough to the edges of the pan. Top with tomato sauce and spread in a even layer.tomato sauce spread over pizza dough 
  4. Sprinkle with cheese. 
  5. Combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a small bowl and mix until evenly coated.rotisserie chicken coasted in bbq sauce in a small bowl
  6. Scatter chicken over the top of the pizza. 
  7. Add red onion and bake until cheese is melted and slightly browned around the edges. (15-20 minutes)
  8. Top with fresh cilantro before serving and enjoy!a piece of bbq chicken pizza being lifted out of the pan

Notes

  • My pizza dough recipe will yield about 1.5 lbs of dough. You can use all of it and make a large pizza, save it or make some mini cheese pizzas for your picky eater like I did.
