The Best Fluffy Pancakes recipe you will fall in love with. Full of tips and tricks to help you make the best pancakes.
Ingredients
Method
- Prep the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the chopped rotisserie chicken with your desired amount of barbecue sauce. Add just enough to coat the chicken evenly, you don’t want it overly saucy.
- Prepare the Crust: Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over each pizza crust. Be careful not to use a sauce that’s too thin or runny, as that can make the crust soggy.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the crust.
- Top It Off: Add the barbecue chicken and sliced red onion.
- Bake: Bake according to your pizza crust’s instructions. We love using cauliflower crust for a gluten-free option, but any crust works beautifully here.
- Finish with Fresh Cilantro: Once the pizza comes out of the oven and cools slightly, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy.
