How to make BBQ Chicken Pizza
The first step to making your pizza is deciding on which pizza dough you would like to use. Homemade Pizza Dough is simple to make but does require planning ahead. If you are low carb our Cauliflower Pizza Crust is a delicious option. There is also store bough dough or pre-made pizza crusts.
For this recipe, we pre-made some BBQ Chicken in the crock pot. All I do is combine my chicken breasts with some BBQ sauce and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours then shred it up! I made a big batch to be used throughout the week. (Any already cooked chicken can be used for this recipe… an easy way to use up leftover chicken!)
Once you have decided on a dough or crust, if needed, roll it out and place on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Then, top the crust with your favorite sauce. I used a plain tomato sauce that I seasoned with pizza seasoning, Italian seasoning would work as well!
Then, add your cheese, sliced red onions, chicken, and drizzle with a little more BBQ sauce. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until crust and cheese are golden.
Before serving, top with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
