Barbecue chicken pizza with grilled chicken and red onion
Tangy barbecue sauce meets grilled chicken and fresh coriander on this classic pizza

California BBQ chicken pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
California, 1985. Legendary chef Ed LaDou had a bold idea and swapped tomato sauce for BBQ sauce. The result? A modern classic was born. The sweetness and smokiness of the sauce, the heat of the grilled chicken and red onion, and the freshness of coriander create a flavour bomb that changed the pizza world forever.

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and fry in a pan with a little oil until golden brown.

Tip: It's fine if the middle is slightly raw, it will finish cooking in the oven and won't dry out (juiciness retention).
2 ✓

Toss the cooked chicken in a little BBQ sauce.

Tip: This ensures every bite of meat is flavourful.
3 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Tip: A hot oven is essential.
4 ✓

Spread the dough with the remaining BBQ sauce, sprinkle with half the cheese.

Tip: Placing cheese underneath protects the dough from being soaked by the juicy meat.
5 ✓

Distribute the chicken and thinly sliced red onion over it, then the other half of the cheese.

Tip: The onion caramelises sweetly in the oven.
6 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese bubbles.

Tip: Due to the sugar content of BBQ sauce, the edges can brown sooner, watch it!
7 ✓

After baking, sprinkle with fresh coriander.

Tip: Coriander gives the dish its fresh, Californian character.

Recipe FAQ

What BBQ sauce should I buy?
A thicker, honey-smoked version is best. Too runny sauce will make the dough soggy.
Can I use leftover roast chicken?
