BBQ Chicken Pizza

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Smoky, sweet BBQ sauce stands in for tomato, topped with tender chicken, red onion, and stretchy mozzarella for a tangy twist on pizza night. A longtime Canadian household favourite.

⏱ 40 minServes 4American

Ingredients

  • 500 g store-bought pizza dough
  • 0.5 cup your favourite BBQ sauce (e.g. KC Masterpiece or Bull's-Eye)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup smoked Gouda or cheddar, shredded
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
  2. 2Toss shredded chicken with 3 tbsp of the BBQ sauce until evenly coated; set aside.
  3. 3Stretch dough to a 12-inch round on parchment paper and brush edges with olive oil.
  4. 4Spread remaining BBQ sauce over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. 5Scatter mozzarella and Gouda evenly, then distribute BBQ chicken and red onion slices on top.
  6. 6Slide onto hot stone and bake 11–14 minutes until crust is deep golden and cheese is bubbly.
  7. 7Top with fresh cilantro immediately after pulling from the oven, then slice.

💡 A rotisserie chicken from the grocery store works perfectly here and saves significant time. Skip cilantro if your family isn't fans — sliced green onion is a great swap.
