# Ingredients:

01 -
1/2 recipe homemade pizza dough or 1 store-bought pizza crust
02 -
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
03 -
1 teaspoon black pepper
→ Toppings
04 -
1 cup cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
05 -
1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 -
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
07 -
2 tablespoons jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced
08 -
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 450°F. If using homemade dough, roll or stretch half the recipe onto a dark cookie sheet or pizza pan, making it as thin as possible for a crispy crust. For softer crust, use a light-colored pan.
02 -
Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the entire pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the sauce for extra flavor.
03 -
Distribute the chopped chicken evenly across the pizza. Use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for the best flavor and convenience.
04 -
Scatter the sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño peppers evenly over the chicken. Keep the vegetable slices thin so they cook properly.
05 -
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire pizza, making sure to cover all the toppings for the best melting and flavor distribution.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly with light golden spots. The edges should be crispy.
07 -
Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Cut into 10 slices and serve immediately while hot and cheese is still gooey.
# Notes:
