A crisp, tangy pizza topped with smoky shredded chicken and melty mozzarella, perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough — store-bought or homemade (enough for one 12–14 inch pizza)
  • Shredded chicken — about 2 cups (rotisserie chicken is ideal)
  • BBQ sauce — 1/2 to 3/4 cup
  • Mozzarella cheese — 1.5–2 cups shredded
  • Red onion — thinly sliced, optional
  • Chopped cilantro or green onions, optional
  • Extra BBQ sauce, for drizzling, optional
  • Crumbled bacon, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough instructions. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
  2. Roll or stretch dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated stone.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2–1 inch rim for the crust.
  4. Toss shredded chicken with a tablespoon or two of BBQ sauce to coat lightly, then distribute it evenly over the sauced dough.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the chicken in an even layer and scatter thin red onion slices on top if using.
  6. Bake according to the dough’s recommended time (most store-bought doughs take about 15–20 minutes at 400–475°F). Look for a golden crust and bubbling, lightly browned cheese.
  7. Remove from the oven, let rest 2–3 minutes, slice, and serve hot. Finish with cilantro or a light drizzle of extra sauce if desired.

Notes

Serve pizza with a crisp green salad or slaw for balance. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
