Description

This delicious homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza combines tender shredded chicken coated in flavorful BBQ sauce, topped with vibrant red onions, green bell peppers, and a blend of mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses on a crispy 12-inch pizza crust. Baked to perfection with a golden crust and bubbling cheese, it’s an irresistible dish perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for brushing

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Base and Cheese

  • 1 (12-inch) pizza crust
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the pizza evenly.
  2. Cook Chicken: Cook the boneless, skinless chicken breast thoroughly until no longer pink inside, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Toss Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, tossing well to coat each piece evenly with flavor.
  4. Prepare Pizza Base: Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the 12-inch pizza crust, taking care to leave a small border around the edges for the crust.
  5. Add Chicken Topping: Evenly distribute the BBQ-coated shredded chicken over the sauced pizza crust.
  6. Add Vegetables: Sprinkle the chopped red onion and green bell pepper evenly over the chicken for added crunch and color.
  7. Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle both shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses over all the toppings to create a melty, cheesy layer.
  8. Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for brightness, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before shredding to ensure food safety.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor of the pizza.
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza crust for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • You can substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar for a sharper taste.
  • To make this pizza gluten-free, use a gluten-free pizza crust.
