Pro Tips Before You Start

Use Room-Temperature Dough: Easier to stretch without tearing

Preheat Your Oven with a Pizza Stone or Steel: For a crispy bottom

Use Parchment Paper: To easily transfer the pizza

Don’t Overload with Sauce: Too much = soggy crust

Add Cilantro After Baking: Keeps it fresh and vibrant

How to Make BBQ Chicken Pizza

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 475°F.

If using a pizza stone or steel, place it inside while the oven heats.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12–14 inch circle on parchment paper.

Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet.

Step 3: Add the Toppings

Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle with half of the cheese.

Add chicken, red onions, and the remaining cheese.

Step 4: Bake

Slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot stone or bake on a tray for 12–15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Slice and serve hot!

What to Serve It With

Side Caesar salad

Garlic knots or breadsticks

Roasted corn on the cob

Coleslaw or a creamy pasta salad

Iced tea or sparkling lemonade

Variations / Substitutions

Use Flatbread or Naan: For mini pizzas

Swap Chicken for Turkey or Pulled Pork

Add Bacon or Jalapeños: For more flavor

Pineapple Topping: For a sweet and tangy twist

Dairy-Free Cheese: Make it vegan-friendly

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days

Reheat: Use oven or skillet to keep crust crispy

Freezer: Freeze slices individually wrapped for up to 2 months

FAQs
