Ingredients

  • 1 recipe pizza dough
  • 1 cup chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ medium red onion sliced
  • 2 ounces shredded yellow cheddar cheese
  • 2 ounces shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast until the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the skins and shred the chicken with two forks. Set aside until ready to use. This can be made 2 days ahead and kept cold in an airtight container.
    1 cup chicken breast, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • To make the barbecue sauce, stir together the ketchup, mustard, molasses, apple cider vinegar, paprika, cayenne, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
    ¾ cup ketchup, 2 teaspoons yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • To make pizza, preheat the oven to 400°F with a pizza stone. Roll out dough into one large 18-inch circle or two smaller 12-inch circles. If you don’t have a pizza stone, roll pizza dough onto a baking pan. Once at the desired size, bake pizza crust until set and dry to the touch, 7 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.

  • Spread an even layer of barbecue sauce on top of the baked crust (½ cup on smaller crusts and ¾ cup on larger). Top with shredded chicken, red onion, and cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden, 18 minutes.
