Better Than Frozen Pizza

One of my newest obsessions is BBQ chicken pizza.  It is so delicious, but the frozen ones I have tried recently haven't been living up to my expectations.  I decided to make one myself after seeing the recipe on multiple websites and blogs.  

Most of the recipes were pretty similar, so instead of following a specific recipe, I just based my pizza on the Pioneer Woman's version of California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ Chicken Pizza.  I didn't follow the recipe exactly though, as I preferred to buy a pre-baked crust and use shredded mozzarella cheese.

The final product was AMAZING!  I absolutely loved it, and it was so easy to make.  If you're not a cilantro lover, leave it off.  I thought it added a little "freshness" and color to the pizza though.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

1 pre-baked pizza crust

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

BBQ sauce

1/2 medium red onion, sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Chopped cilantro, as much as desired

Directions:

1.  Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover with BBQ sauce.  Turn chicken in sauce to coat the chicken.  Bake chicken for 25 minutes.  Cool chicken and then dice into small pieces.  

2.  Place pizza crust on a pan.  Spread a few tablespoons of BBQ sauce on crust.  Sprinkle with 1/2 of mozzarella.  Distribute as much diced chicken as desired evenly over crust.  Top with red onion slices and rest of mozzarella.  Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.  

3.  Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
