Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pizza crust or refrigerated pizza crust about 1 (store-bought or refrigerated); or use 1 lb homemade crust
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper diced
  • 1 3/4 cups Monterey Jack shredded cheese about 7 oz
  • cilantro chopped, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the pizza crust on it.
  • Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust edge.
  • Distribute the shredded chicken evenly over the sauce, then scatter the thinly sliced red onion and diced orange bell pepper on top.
  • Top the pizza with the Monterey Jack shredded cheese, covering the toppings evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, cut into slices or squares, and garnish with chopped cilantro if using. Serve warm.
