Here’s a delicious and healthy BBQ Chicken Pizza topping recipe that you can easily make at home.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 1 lb 450g boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (preferably low-sugar and low-sodium)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Pizza:
- 1 whole wheat or cauliflower pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/4 cup sliced fresh cilantro (optional)
- Extra BBQ sauce for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the Pizza:
- If using a store-bought pizza crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking or preparing the crust.
- Spread the shredded BBQ chicken evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
- Add sliced red onion and corn on top of the cheese.
- Bake the Pizza:
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Finish and Serve:
- Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Drizzle a little more BBQ sauce on top if you like, and sprinkle fresh cilantro for added flavor.
