Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked shredded chicken

1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup mini pizza crusts or pita bread rounds

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a perfectly baked crust.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, add the cooked shredded chicken. Pour in the BBQ sauce, followed by the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.

      Assemble the Pizza Bites: On a large baking sheet, lay out the mini pizza crusts or pita rounds. Use a spoon to dollop a generous tablespoon of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the center of each crust, spreading it evenly.

        Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each bite, ensuring that the chicken is well-covered. Then distribute the finely chopped red onion atop the cheese for added texture and flavor.

          Brush with Olive Oil: To enhance the flavor and achieve a lovely golden-brown edge, lightly brush the exposed crusts of the pizza bites with olive oil.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crusts are crisp and golden.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. For added flavor and a fresh touch, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top just before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve the Mini BBQ Chicken Pizza Bites warm for the best flavor, and watch as they quickly become a favorite!
