Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika adds a smoky flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder enhances flavor
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt for seasoning
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked for seasoning
  • 1 chicken breast boneless and skinless about ⅔ lb. for the BBQ chicken topping
  • ½ tablespoon cooking oil for pan-frying
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce use your favorite brand
  • 1 pizza dough enough for a 14-16" pizza crust
  • 4 oz. Monterey Jack cheese shredded for topping
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce for spreading on the pizza
  • 1 jalapeño sliced optional adds heat
  • ¼ cup red onion sliced for flavor

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Season both sides of the chicken breast with the spice mixture.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board to rest.
  • Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then chop it into small, bite-sized pieces. Add ¼ cup BBQ sauce to the chicken and stir to coat.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the prepared pizza dough on a pizza pan. Spread ½ cup BBQ sauce evenly over the dough.
  • Evenly distribute the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the sauce. Then, top with the BBQ chicken, sliced jalapeños (optional), and red onion.
  • Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
