Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza dough. Whether you're using store-bought dough or making your own, roll it out into a circle or rectangle on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Choose your favorite barbecue sauce or make your own by combining ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices like garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Simmer the sauce on the stovetop until it thickens slightly.
Grill or bake boneless, skinless chicken breasts until fully cooked. Once cooked, shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss it with some of the barbecue sauce to coat evenly.
Spread a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the BBQ-coated chicken pieces. Add sliced red onions and chopped fresh cilantro for extra flavor and texture if desired.
Transfer the assembled pizza to a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, typically around 10-15 minutes depending on your oven temperature
Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle a little extra barbecue sauce over the top for an extra burst of flavor. You can also garnish with additional chopped cilantro or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added heat.
Use a pizza cutter to slice the BBQ chicken pizza into wedges or squares, then serve hot and fresh. Pair it with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw or a green salad for a complete meal.
Sit back, relax, and savor every delicious bite of your homemade BBQ chicken pizza. The combination of tangy barbecue sauce, tender chicken, and melted cheese is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
