Ingredients

Directions

  • Prepare pizza dough kit according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, place shredded chicken in a small bowl, then pour ¼ cup BBQ sauce on top. Mix well, then set aside.
  • When ready to assemble the pizza, preheat oven to 500°F, then place a 12-inch cast iron skillet inside. Heat for at least 10 minutes, until the pan is smoking hot. While the pan is heating, roll out the dough to desired thickness. For this recipe, we recommend using ¼ of the prepared pizza dough.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in the skillet, then carefully place the rolled out pizza dough on top. Spoon on the remaining ¼ cup BBQ sauce, spreading it into an even layer. Next, add the shredded BBQ chicken. Top with an even layer of shredded mozzarella and smoked gouda cheeses. Finally, scatter the thinly sliced red onion all over the top.
  • Carefully transfer the skillet back to the oven, then cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese has melted completely.
  • Carefully remove the pizza from the cast iron skillet — it can be helpful to lift it up with a thin metal spatula — then place on a cutting board. Garnish with sliced scallions and fresh cilantro, then slice and serve immediately!

NOTES:

To roast chicken breast: preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Roast until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, about 20 minutes for a boneless breast or 30-35 minutes for bone-in breast.
To easily shred chicken:
discard chicken skin and bone, if using bone-in, then place the fully cooked chicken breast in a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Shred on low speed at first, then increase to medium speed after a minute or so. Continue until the chicken is completely shredded.
