This Heavenly BBQ Chicken Pizza is an absolute favourite in our house. Yesterday, my husband told me that it is up there right with the pizza he gets at his favourite pizza place – that is quite an honour since this throw-together pizza is something that I just thought of one day and is crazy easy. This snack recipe is really just more of an idea that you can change up according to your tastes.
Heavenly BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe
This BBQ chicken pizza recipe is a homemade pizza you can easily nail. This recipe is packed with flavours you'll keep craving.
Ingredients
- 3 medium chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
- 1 medium onions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 medium pizza crust
Instructions
- Cook and shred chicken early. I generally boil mine since the sauce gives it plenty of moisture. Put the shredded chicken in a ziplock bag with lots of cilantro and lightly drizzle it with BBQ sauce. Shake the bag until the shredded chicken is coated. Just use a little to get on the chicken, but not so that it is sopping. Refrigerate until ready to cook pizza.
- When you’re ready, either make the crust from scratch, buy a Boboli or those packet crusts. I’ve used all of these options, and they all turn out fine, so do whatever works best for you.
- Once the crust is prepared, spread the BBQ sauce over it. This doesn’t have to be a heavy layer since BBQ sauce can be pretty strong and salty. Cover crust with cheese, then add the thin onion slices and chicken. Add more fresh cilantro over the top and lightly sprinkle with additional cheese if you wish.
- Bake according to crust directions.
