How to Make BBQ Chicken Pizza

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade BBQ sauce can reduce sugar and preservatives.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Grilled chicken is leaner, while canned is budget-friendly.

red onion

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: white onion

Green onions add freshness, while white onions are more economical.

Put olive oil in a bowl and add the store-bought pizza dough, cover it, and let it sit on the counter overnight.

Flour a board and roll out the dough into a rectangle for about five minutes.

Place the rolled dough on a sheet pan to rest while preparing other ingredients.

Dice half a red onion into small pieces.

Remove the skin from two rotisserie chickens and pull the meat off, tearing the darker meat into pieces and slicing the breast meat into strips, then cutting into cubes.

Split the chicken and onion into two piles, one for each pizza.

Brush a thin layer of BBQ sauce onto the dough.

Scatter a layer of mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce.

Evenly distribute the chicken pieces on top of the cheese.

Sprinkle the diced red onion evenly across the pizza.

Add a layer of Italian cheese blend on top of everything.

Drizzle a little BBQ sauce on top at the end.

Repeat the process for the second pizza if making two.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and cook the pizza.

Chop cilantro just before serving.

Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top of the pizza before slicing.

Cut the pizza into eight pieces using a knife.
