Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz pizza dough, at room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Stretch dough on floured parchment to a 12-inch round, keeping the center thin. Transfer parchment to a baking sheet and preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Brush olive oil on the dough rim, spread barbecue sauce over the center, then layer mozzarella and gouda evenly.
  3. Toss chicken with any remaining sauce and scatter it over the cheese with sliced onion.
  4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until pale gold, then broil 2 to 3 minutes until the crust is deep brown and chicken edges darken.
  5. Cool 1 minute, slice, and top with fresh cilantro while warm.

Notes

Let the pizza sit for a minute before slicing, or the cheese may slide. If using a pizza stone, let it preheat inside the oven for 20 minutes and slide the pizza onto it with the parchment.
