Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups shredded cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, well-drained)
- 1/2 cup fresh jalapeños (sliced thin)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (smoky variety recommended)
- 2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter and transfer it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook seasoned chicken breasts in a splash of oil until golden brown on both sides (approximately 6-8 minutes per side). Let rest before shredding.
- Mix shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well-coated.
- Spread BBQ sauce on the rolled-out dough, then evenly distribute shredded chicken, pineapple chunks, and jalapeño slices on top.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over all toppings. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro before slicing into wedges.
