Ingredients
- 1 Whole Wheat Pizza Dough 1/2 recipe to make 1 crust freeze the second crust, or use your favorite pizza dough recipe—enough to yield one 11×14-inch pizza**
- 1 cup homemade bbq sauce or your barbecue sauce of choice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 ½ to 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast about 2 breasts; see this post for Crock Pot Shredded Chicken, How to Cook Shredded Chicken, Baked Chicken Breast, or Instant Pot Chicken
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese about 4 ounces
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese about 4 ounces
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place rack in upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or dust it with cornmeal or flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce and garlic powder. Add shredded chicken and toss to coat.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll into an 11×14-inch rectangle. Gently transfer the rolled dough to a prepared baking sheet (you can also roll out the dough on floured parchment, then lift up the crust and paper together and set them on the baking sheet). Top with the BBQ chicken, leaving a 3/4 inch border uncovered around all sides.
- Sprinkle on the mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and red onion. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the crust is crisp and golden. Sprinkle with the green onion. Let cool a few minutes, then slice and serve.
