A Texas BBQ pizza is a flavor-packed, smoky twist on a classic pizza. It features a rich BBQ sauce base, topped with tender chicken, sharp red onions, crisp pepperoncinis, savory colby jack cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Ingredients
- Premixed pizza dough (12 inches)
- Precooked chicken, shredded (8oz or 1 breast)
- Barbecue sauce
- Red onion, sliced (1/4 large)
- Colby jack cheese, shredded (1 cup)
- Pepperoncinis, sliced (1/2 cup)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
Steps
-
Flour your work surface. Pizza dough is sticky and flour will prevent it from sticking to your counter.
-
Remove your pizza dough from the fridge. Let it rest for at least 45 minutes to get up to room temperature.Advertisement
-
Mix 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce into the shredded chicken. This will enhance the flavor and protect it from drying out in the oven.
-
4Preheat your oven to 475 Fahrenheit.
-
Slice the red onion.
-
Chop the fresh cilantro.
-
Shred the chicken into bite-sized chunks using your hands.
-
Spread the pizza dough out into a 12 inch circle. You can use your hands or a rolling pin. Oil the top surface with olive oil.
-
Oil your baking tray. We want the pizza to come free easily after cooking. If using a pizza stone instead, DO NOT oil it.
-
Transfer your pizza to the baking pan.
-
Spread 1/3 cup of barbecue sauce around the center of the pizza.
-
Spread the chicken on the pizza.
-
Spread the cheese on the pizza.
-
Spread the red onion on the pizza.
