Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) grilled chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup (226 grams) fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup (226 grams) smoked gouda cheese, shredded
Base and Sauce:
- 1 (454 grams) one-pound premade pizza crust
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) Franks Sweet & Smoky BBQ Kraut
Vegetable Topping:
- 1/3 cup (53 grams) red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza crust according to package instructions at the recommended temperature.
- Generously coat the pizza base with a layer of tangy BBQ sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Distribute grilled chicken strips across the sauce, creating a balanced topping arrangement.
- Scatter thinly sliced red onions and sauerkraut uniformly over the chicken.
- Liberally sprinkle a blend of mozzarella and gouda cheeses to completely cover the toppings.
- Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling surface, typically 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality BBQ sauce with balanced sweetness and tanginess to enhance the overall pizza flavor.
- Grill chicken beforehand to develop deeper smoky flavors and ensure the meat remains tender and juicy.
- Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the pizza crust soggy during baking.
- Experiment with alternative toppings like smoked gouda or adding fresh cilantro for a flavor boost if traditional ingredients aren’t available.
