Ingredients

  • 1 package Urban Slicer Pizza Dough Mix (your choice of variety)
  • ¾ cup Rufus Teague Honey Sweet BBQ Sauce, divided
  • 1 cup cooked, grilled chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing the crust)
  • Semolina or any flour (for stretching the dough)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Follow the instructions on your Urban Slicer Pizza Dough Mix to prepare and proof the dough.

Preheat your oven to 500°F (or as hot as it will go) with a pizza stone or steel inside. If using a pizza oven, heat to 700°F.

Grill the Chicken

Season chicken with salt and pepper, grill until fully cooked, then chop or shred.

Toss the grilled chicken in ¼ cup Rufus Teague Honey Sweet BBQ Sauce for extra flavor.

Stretch the Dough

Lightly flour your work surface (or use cornmeal).

Stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch round and transfer to a pizza peel or parchment paper.

Assemble the Pizza

Brush the crust with a light layer of olive oil for a crispy edge.

Spread ½ cup Rufus Teague Honey Sweet BBQ Sauce evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Add the BBQ chicken and scatter the thinly sliced red onion on top.

Bake

Transfer to the preheated oven or pizza oven.

Bake for 6-8 minutes (high heat pizza oven) or 10-12 minutes (regular oven) until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.

Finish & Serve

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro right after baking.

Let cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
