Three Cheese BBQ Chicken + Sweet Corn Pizza with Creamy Ranch
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
For the pizza:
½ red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
1 cup cooked corn (frozen or fresh)
½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated sharp cheddar
½ cup grated Parmesan
2 - 8” premade pizza crusts
¼ cup BBQ sauce
1 lb cooked chicken, diced
2 tbsp fresh chives, minced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
For the ranch:
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh dill, minced
2 tbsp fresh chives, minced
1 tsp dried parsley
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Place red onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to combine the pickled onions and set aside.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the corn and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until the corn is warmed through and charred in places. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan in a bowl.
Lay pizza crust on a flat surface, and spread bbq sauce over each one in a thin layer, leaving a ½” border. Add ½ the cheese mixture evenly across the sauce, then the chicken and the corn. Sprinkle with chives, and remaining cheese.
Place each pizza on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly, 8-10 minutes.
While the pizza cooks, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
When the pizza is done, top with pickled onions, chives, and cilantro. Drizzle with ranch dressing and enjoy!
