Picture this: warm, chewy crust topped with succulent barbecue chicken, gooey cheese, and a pop of colorful veggies. This pizza is the kind of dish that makes your friends swoon and your family beg for seconds. Plus, it’s super easy to make! Here’s how to get started:

Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (because we’ve got more important things to do)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (the hero of our story)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (the saucy star)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (the melty goodness)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (for that zesty kick)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (the fancy green stuff)
  • Optional: jalapeños or bell peppers for an extra crunch

Instructions:

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). This is where the magic happens!
  2. While that oven warms up, let’s get our chicken dressed! In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce, mixing until it’s all sauced up and ready for the spotlight.
  3. Next, roll out your pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. No need for a fancy shape; we’re not trying to impress anyone here (or are we?).
  4. Spoon your barbecue chicken evenly over the crust, spreading it like you’re frosting a cake. Yes, we can dream, can’t we?
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella generously over the chicken masterpiece, followed by the red onion slices. Feel free to throw on those optional jalapeños if you’re feeling wild!
  6. Now, it’s time for the oven to do its magic! Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden like your future plans.
  7. Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top like it’s confetti at a party, and slice up that beauty into pieces worthy of applause!

And voila! You’ve just created a masterpiece that could rival the Mona Lisa—well, maybe just the pizza version. Enjoy your barbecue chicken pizza with friends, family, or a quiet night in where you eat an entire pie by yourself. No judgments here!
