Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 200g cooked chicken, shredded
- 100g BBQ sauce
- 150g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 red onion, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a pizza stone or large baking sheet inside to ensure a crispy crust.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin, round shape approximately 12-14 inches in diameter.
- Prepare the shredded chicken by mixing it with 50g of BBQ sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated and moist.
- Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly across the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Distribute the BBQ-coated shredded chicken uniformly over the sauce layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.
- Scatter the thinly sliced red onion rings across the pizza surface.
- Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using a pizza peel or the back of a large baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves just before serving.
- Slice into 8 wedges and serve hot.
Tips
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet to ensure a crispy, restaurant-quality crust.
- Don't overload your pizza - balance is key to prevent a soggy center.
- Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to help the cheese set and make slicing easier.
- For extra flavor, consider marinating your chicken in the BBQ sauce for 30 minutes before preparing.
- If you want a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha sauce before serving.
- Fresh ingredients make all the difference - use high-quality mozzarella and freshly chopped cilantro.
- A pizza peel can help you transfer the pizza smoothly, but a large baking sheet works as a great alternative.
