BBQ chicken pizza swaps tomato sauce for tangy barbecue sauce, then piles on chicken, sharp red onion and melted mozzarella. Searing the chicken first gives it colour and seasons it. Cilantro at the end keeps it bright.

Ingredients

For 4 slices.

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Pizza

  • 1 lb pizza dough, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 6 oz part-skim mozzarella, shredded
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 475°F with a sheet pan inside.

  2. Toss the chicken with the paprika and sear it in the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and 165°F.

Tips

  • Stretch the dough on parchment and slide it onto a hot pan; it bakes crisper.
  • Thin the BBQ sauce with a spoon of water so it spreads evenly.
