BBQ chicken pizza and a glass of red wine go well together, making for a great Friday night treat. The smoky flavors of barbecue sauce, the tender chicken, and the variety of toppings make your mouth water. The rich notes of your red wine will make the experience even better.
Ingredients: 1 pre-made pizza dough. 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast. 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 1/4 cup corn kernels. 1 tablespoon olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 bottle of your favorite red wine.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425F 220C. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with barbecue sauce until well coated. Spread the barbecue chicken evenly over the pizza dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Add sliced red onions, chopped cilantro, and corn kernels on top. Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. While the pizza is baking, uncork your favorite red wine and let it breathe. Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the pizza, pour yourself a glass of wine, and enjoy your BBQ Chicken Pizza and Friday Wine!
