With store-bought dough and grilled chicken, your pizza will be ready in no time. It's hearty, moist, and bursting with rich flavor, with the sweet and spicy notes of classic barbecue sauce. The rolled-out dough is baked until halfway done, then the crust is topped with shredded chicken in barbecue sauce and three types of cheese: cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella. After baking, the cheeses transform into a delicious, gooey topping that's hard to resist. A great alternative to traditional Italian pizza when you're craving the flavors of a summer barbecue.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 200°C.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the onion and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent and soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme, and oregano, mix well, and cook until fragrant. Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar. Raise the heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring quickly to coat. Reduce the heat and add the shredded chicken. Stir to coat the chicken, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, roll out the dough according to the package directions and place it on a nonstick baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border, evenly spread the chicken and barbecue sauce over the top. Sprinkle with grated cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella, in that order. Place the pizza in the oven and bake until the mozzarella is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown, about 6-11 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
