Barbecue Chicken Pizza 

Ingredients (for 1 large pizza – serves 2 to 3)
Pizza Dough

250g pizza dough (homemade or ready-made)
(If you want the recipe for homemade dough, I can give it to you!)

Chicken Topping

200g chicken breast

1 tablespoon barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 to 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce (for spreading on the dough)

1 to 2 tbsp. of crème fraîche (optional, for extra creaminess)

1 ball of mozzarella (or grated mozzarella)

Grated cheese (Emmental or Cheddar)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Salt, pepper, paprika (optional, to season the chicken)

Preparation

1. Prepare the chicken

Cut the chicken breast into small strips or cubes.

In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika (if desired).

Brown the chicken in a pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 220-250°C (ideally with a pizza stone for an even crispier crust).

3. Prepare the Dough

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread a layer of barbecue sauce over the dough (you can also add a little sour cream for a creamy effect if you like).

Then spread the barbecue chicken pieces and sliced ​​red onions on top.

4. Top the Pizza

Add the mozzarella and grated cheese (Emmental or Cheddar).

If you’d like more barbecue sauce, you can add a little on top before baking.

5. Bake

Bake the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the cheeses are melted.

6. Finish

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips

For an even more indulgent pizza, you can add a few slices of grilled bacon or roasted peppers.

A touch of honey on the pizza just before serving can add a sweet note that pairs perfectly with the barbecue sauce.
