Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced chicken with olive oil until golden brown (about 7-10 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, then stir in half the BBQ sauce.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and transfer to a baking sheet or preheated stone.
  4. Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the dough. Top evenly with cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, and optional red onion slices.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
