Why Make This Recipe

BBQ Chicken Pizza is a great meal for anyone who loves a mix of smoky, sweet, and cheesy flavors. It’s easy to make, especially with a pre-made crust, and perfect for a family dinner or a fun gathering with friends. Using rotisserie chicken cuts down on prep time, making this recipe a time-saver for busy nights.

How to Make BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

1 pre-made pizza crust
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package instructions.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
Layer the shredded rotisserie chicken on top of the BBQ sauce.
Add the thinly sliced red onion over the chicken.
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, slice, and serve.

How to Serve BBQ Chicken Pizza

BBQ Chicken Pizza can be served hot right from the oven. It’s delicious on its own, but you can also pair it with a side salad or some coleslaw to add a fresh crunch. It’s also a hit at parties, so slice it into smaller pieces for easy snacking.

How to Store BBQ Chicken Pizza

If you have leftovers, you can store BBQ Chicken Pizza in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for about 3-4 days. To reheat, pop it in the oven for a few minutes until it’s warm, or use the microwave if you’re in a hurry.

Tips to Make BBQ Chicken Pizza

You can customize the toppings to your liking. Add bell peppers for some crunch or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Use your favorite brand of BBQ sauce, as each has a slightly different flavor.
Make sure not to overload the pizza with toppings, or it may become soggy.

Variation

Try using different types of cheese, like gouda or feta, for a unique twist. You can also swap the chicken for pulled pork for a different flavor and texture.

FAQs

1. Can I use homemade pizza dough instead of a pre-made crust?
Yes, you can definitely use homemade pizza dough! Just roll it out and follow the same steps.

2. What kind of BBQ sauce is best for this recipe?
Choose a BBQ sauce that you enjoy; some people prefer sweet sauces, while others like tangy or smoky options.

3. Can I freeze BBQ Chicken Pizza?
Yes, before baking, you can freeze the assembled pizza. Wrap it tightly and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, bake it straight from the freezer, but you may need to add extra baking time.
