This BBQ Chicken Pizza is smoky, cheesy, and loaded with flavor! Made with tender chicken, tangy barbecue sauce, and melty cheese — it’s the perfect homemade pizza night recipe that’s ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 (12-inch) pizza crust — homemade or store-bought

  • ½ cup barbecue sauce (plus more for drizzling)

  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup sliced red onion

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • Olive oil (for brushing crust)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place pizza crust on a baking sheet or stone; lightly brush edges with olive oil.
  • Spread barbecue sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border.
  • Top with cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, and red onion.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden.
  • Remove from oven, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro.
  • Slice and serve warm.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
  • Try mixing half BBQ sauce and half pizza sauce for a milder flavor.
