BBQ Chicken Pizza
Description
BBQ Chicken Pizza begins with stretching a ball of pizza dough to about 10 to 12 inches, then spreading a layer of barbecue sauce for a sweet and tangy base. Shredded cooked chicken is tossed with additional barbecue sauce to coat evenly and layered over the base. Toppings include diced red onion and thinly sliced pickled jalapeños, adding sharpness and a mild heat that contrasts with the sweet sauce.
Grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese are sprinkled over before baking in a hot oven to achieve a golden, melted cheese layer and crispy crust edges. Once out of the oven, fresh chopped cilantro is scattered across the pizza, contributing a fresh herbal note to balance the smoky and sweet elements.
This pizza delivers a combination of smoky barbecue flavor, tender chicken, melty cheese, and a touch of heat from jalapeños. It can accommodate homemade or store-bought barbecue sauces, and cooking the chicken separately allows control over tenderness and shredding.
The recipe suggests alternatives for chicken and barbecue sauce, and mentions adding chopped spinach to the barbecue sauce for more greens if desired.
