Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough or homemade dough
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for drizzling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a pizza stone, place it on the grill to heat up.
- Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Brush one side with olive oil.
- Grill the Dough: Place the oiled side of the dough on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip the dough over.
- Add Toppings: Spread the BBQ chicken mixture over the grilled side of the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and red onion slices.
- Finish Grilling: Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the grill, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired. Slice and enjoy!
