Ingredients
- 1 gluten-free pizza crust
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Take the gluten-free pizza crust and place it on a clean baking sheet or pizza stone. Ensure the crust is at room temperature for even cooking.
- Spread the BBQ sauce evenly across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Distribute the cooked shredded chicken uniformly over the BBQ sauce layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, covering the surface completely.
- Scatter the thinly sliced red onions across the pizza for added flavor and texture.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.
- Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve hot.
Tips
- Ensure your gluten-free pizza crust is at room temperature before adding toppings to promote even cooking.
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet to achieve a crispy crust that doesn't become soggy.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings - a balanced distribution ensures every bite is delicious.
- For extra flavor, consider briefly caramelizing the red onions before adding them to the pizza.
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make slicing easier.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a few red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
