Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough let sit at room temperature
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornmeal for dusting
- 0.67 cup BBQ sauce plus extra for drizzling
- 8 oz cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 1.5 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- 0.5 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or inverted sheet on middle rack.
- Dust a sheet of parchment with cornmeal. Stretch dough into a 12–13 inch round.
- Brush dough lightly with olive oil, leaving a thin border for the crust.
- Toss chopped chicken with a spoonful of BBQ sauce to coat.
- Spread remaining BBQ sauce over dough. Sprinkle on mozzarella evenly.
- Distribute BBQ chicken, red onion, and blue cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Slide parchment onto the hot stone. Bake until crust is browned and cheese bubbles, 12–14 minutes.
- Rest 2 minutes. Drizzle with a little BBQ sauce, scatter cilantro, slice, and serve.
Notes
Add heat with sliced jalapeños or a pinch of crushed red pepper. Swap cilantro for parsley if preferred. Leftovers keep 2–3 days refrigerated; reheat on a hot skillet to re-crisp the crust.
