Servings: 4 People
Ingredients
- 1 ball pizza dough 12–14 inch
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce use your favorite smoky or tangy style
- 1 cup grilled chicken breast sliced or shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- For the mango salsa:
- 1 ripe mango diced
- 1/4 red onion finely diced
- 1 small habanero pepper minced (adjust to heat preference)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking steel inside for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the mango salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, habanero, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir and set aside to let flavors meld.
- Prepare the dough: Roll or stretch the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12–14 inch circle. Transfer to a floured pizza peel.
- Assemble the base: Spread BBQ sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle half of the cheese over the sauce. Layer on the grilled chicken and sliced red onion. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake: Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Finish with salsa: Remove the pizza from the oven. Spoon fresh mango salsa evenly over the top.
- Slice and serve: Cut into wedges and enjoy the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors.
Notes
- Control the spice by adjusting how much habanero you add to the salsa. Jalapeño or serrano can be swapped for milder heat.
- Try smoked gouda instead of Monterey Jack for a deeper, smoky flavor.
- Grill your chicken with a brush of BBQ sauce for extra caramelized flavor before adding it to the pizza.
