- A pizza crust. I bought a pre-made Boboli Pizza crust for convenience, but you can use whatever kind of crust you like. (They also make a thin crust version.)
- BBQ sauce (I used and highly recommend Hutches brand Hot BBQ sauce)
- Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Red onion
- Sliced mushrooms
- Fresh cilantro
- 1 chicken breast (completely thawed for easy cutting)
Prep instructions:
- Start heating your oven so it's ready by the time you are done prepping. (Boboli was 425 deg, but follow instructions for whatever crust you are using.)
- Cut your chicken breast into small chunks. To do this, I cut the chicken long ways, then in half again to make two long pieces and then cut strips into small pieces.
- After cutting up the whole chicken breast into pieces, place in a pan with a little bit of water (about 1/4 cup. Just a little bit of water is needed to cook the chicken and keep it moist.) When the chicken is done, add some BBQ sauce to coat the chicken.
- To cook your mushrooms, you can use the same pan as the chicken. (after you have put the chicken onto the pizza. Don't cook the chicken and mushrooms together.) I used white mushrooms in the bag, but you can use any kind of mushrooms you like. I put about half of the bag into the pan with some BBQ sauce to coat them while cooking. Cook until mushrooms are tender, but still a little firm. (they will cook in the oven also.)
- Cut your red onion into thin slices, then into quarters to give you long thin pieces.
- Cut your fresh cilantro. Give it a few rough chops to break it up.
To assemble the pizza:
- Spread a layer of BBQ sauce on the crust
- Sprinkle a generous layer of the Mexican cheese blend over the BBQ sauce
- Place chicken pieces on top of the cheese layer
- Add red onion to your liking (more or less onions)
- Add your sauteed mushrooms
- Sprinkle a thin layer of more cheese on top (This will help keep everything in place)
- Cook in oven approx 10-12 minutes, or until crust is brown and cheese is melted.
- Once you take the pizza out of the oven to cool, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
