How to Make Barbecue Chicken And Black Bean Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place oven rack in the center.
  2. Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Stir-fry 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  3. Transfer cooked chicken to a medium bowl. Toss with 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce.
  4. Place a 12-inch pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the crust.
  6. Arrange the cooked chicken and 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (drained and rinsed) over the cheese.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped red onion and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro over the chicken and beans.
  8. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce over the pizza.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese on top.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
