Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken Pizza
This Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken Pizza is an easy dinner that combines a crispy pizza crust with smoky BBQ sauce, tender chicken, melted cheese, and red onion. Using a sheet pan makes it simple to feed a family without the hassle of shaping individual pizzas.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped
- 1 13.8 oz can refrigerated pizza dough or 1–1½ lb pizza dough
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup BBQ sauce plus more for drizzling
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
- ranch dressing optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9x13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Stretch the dough out to fit the sheet pan. If you're using a ball of pizza dough, let it sit at room temperature first to make it easier to stretch.
- Brush the dough with olive oil, especially around the edges.
- Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add the cooked chicken and sliced red onion.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce over the top.
- Bake for 12–17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crisp edges, broil for about 30 seconds at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and finish with an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce and ranch. Garnish with green onion and cilantro, if desired.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
You can use any store-bought or homemade dough you like. This recipe is super flexible.
Grilled chicken adds great flavor, but rotisserie chicken works perfectly for an even easier option.
