Instructions
Creating Cheesy BBQ Chicken Pizza is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to prepare for baking the pizza.
2. Prepare the Crust: If using a store-bought crust, place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush the edges lightly with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.
3. Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated.
4. Layer the Pizza: Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Add Chicken Mixture: Evenly distribute the barbecue chicken mixture over the sauce.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.
7. Top with Onions and Corn: Add the thinly sliced red onion and corn (if using) on top of the cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
8. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
9. Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for a fresh finish.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot.
