You won’t want to order takeaway once you realise just how easy this BBQ chicken pizza is to make at home! Combining tangy, sweet BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, red onion and dairy free mozzarella cheese, all on my easy homemade pizza base, you’ll love how flavourful and delicious this simple pizza is.
Preheat your oven to 250-260°C (450-500°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating for the best results. Alternatively, use a heavy-duty baking tray.
Stretch out your pizza dough on a sheet of baking paper to your desired size and thickness. Work by pressing the dough outwards using your fingers. If you’re using a store-bought base, simply lay it flat on a piece of baking paper.
Evenly spread half of the BBQ sauce over the base of the pizza leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Add the remaining half to a bowl with the shredded chicken and mix well to combine.
Sprinkle half of the dairy free mozzarella cheese over the base of the pizza, followed by the bbq chicken. Scatter over the thinly sliced red onion, followed by the remaining cheese.
Carefully slide the pizza (with the baking paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow the cheese to cool slightly. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
Notes
My recipe for homemade pizza dough is enough for 2 pizzas and the toppings ingredients in this recipe are for one pizza. You can store the leftover pizza dough in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to use it (more information on this in the pizza dough blog post linked in the ingredients).Prep time doesn’t include the time to make the pizza dough.
