Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker Gluten Free pizza crust mix
- 2½ cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup gluten-free barbecue sauce
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with gluten-free cooking spray or shortening. Mix the pizza crust according to the package directions using the required egg, water, and oil.
- 2Press the dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared pan. Lightly coat your hands with a little canola oil or rice flour if the dough sticks while shaping.
- 3Bake the crust for 12 to 16 minutes until the edges just start to turn brown.
- 4Combine the shredded cooked chicken and gluten-free barbecue sauce in a medium bowl. Spread this chicken mixture evenly across the partially baked crust, reaching all the way to the edges. Scatter the sliced red onion and shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
- 5Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- 6Slice the finished pizza and serve hot. For a spicier variation, substitute a habanero or chili-infused gluten-free barbecue sauce in place of the standard sauce.
