Chicken

Finishing Touch

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill or bake the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).

  2. 2

    Coat with BBQ Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and brush both sides generously with BBQ sauce. Let it rest for a few minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

Assemble the BBQ Chicken

  1. 3

    Prepare the Base

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Spread the red sauce evenly over a large pizza crust or baking sheet.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Chicken

    Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the red sauce. Evenly distribute the chopped BBQ chicken over the cheese. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Scatter the thinly sliced red onion and crumbled bacon over the top of the cheese.

Bake and Finish

  1. 6

    Bake

    Place the assembled BBQ chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 7

    Drizzle and Garnish

    Remove from the oven and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce to taste. Top with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
