Serves:
Ingredients
- 1lbpizza dough,store-bought, or homemade, room temperature
- 2tbspolive oil
- 2cupschicken,cooked, shredded
- 1cupbbq sauce,such as Hunt’s Hickory BBQ sauce
- 6ozmozzarella cheese,(about 1½ cups) shredded, divided
- ½red onion,thinly sliced
- 1jalapeño,thinly sliced
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a rack in the lowest position.
-
Place the dough in the center of the baking sheet and drizzle with the oil.
-
Turn the dough to coat it well, spreading some of the oil over the baking sheet.
-
Gradually stretch the dough until it reaches the edges of the baking sheet, being careful not to rip any holes in the dough.
-
If the dough springs back or is difficult to stretch, this usually means that the dough is too cold.
-
To remedy the situation, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes before continuing.
-
Mix together the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce in a bowl, then spread evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a little bit of a border around the pizza.
-
Sprinkle evenly with two-thirds⅔ of the cheese, scatter the red onion and then the jalapeño, and then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
-
Set the pan on the lowest shelf of the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the pizza is golden brown.
-
Cut into squares and serve hot.
Recipe Notes
- If the dough is store-bought or has been refrigerated for a long time, set it out on the counter for at least 30 minutes to bring it to room temperature to make it easier to work with.
- If there’s no leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken to make this recipe, quickly poach a few chicken breasts following this method.
- It’s nice to have cheese both under and over the toppings, but it can be assembled however preferred.
- Optional topping: Pineapples
