Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe

BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:
Pillsbury Thin Crust Dough (in the refrigerated section next to biscuit dough)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 of a red onion, sliced thinly
2 grilled chicken breasts, chopped (season raw breasts with salt and pepper and grill or pan fry til fully cooked)
handful of cilantro, chopped

Directions:
1. Follow directions on package of pizza dough
2. Using a silicone brush (or whatever spreading tool you have), spread BBQ sauce evenly over the crust
3. Coat chicken breast pieces with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
4. Sprinkle chicken and red onion on crust
5. Top with mozzarella cheese
6. Follow package directions for baking pizza after adding toppings

NOTE: Use the regular mozzarella cheese and not the low fat kind because it will turn out dry and not melty. Also, do not leave pizza in the oven more than is recommended on dough package or else the crust will burn.
