INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons favorite BBQ sauce
• 2 cups leftover shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
2. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
3. Using a small ladle, spread BBQ sauce over the surface of the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
4. Top with chicken, cheeses and onion; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Place into oven and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
