Hey there, fowl fans! Picture this: juicy slices of smoky, barbecued chicken, garnished with rings of sweet red onion and a dribble of tangy barbecue sauce – all lounging invitingly on a bed of velvety mozzarella. What’s all this delicious hullabaloo I hear you ask? Why, it’s my homemade BBQ chicken pizza, a culinary creation that brings the backyard barbeque right into your kitchen.
Now, I ain’t no wishy-washy when it comes to flavors, so before I dive headfirst into the pizza ocean, I make sure to give my chicken pieces a frisky dance in a marinade of BBQ sauce. A night to cha-cha in the herby-spicy ensemble does them wonders, you see.
Next morning, I grill them darling pieces till they’re kissed by the smoky flavor of char. Why, that’s when your neighbors, enticed by the aroma, might start giving you a call! Whoops-a-daisy, we’re straying off the course here. So back to our pizza!
Having rolled out my dough with a loving, yet firm hand, I start with a slathering of a rich, homemade BBQ sauce. Sure enough, you can use the store-bought kind, but, I’d be yanking your chain if I didn’t tell you how much better homemade is!
Next, that mellow beauty, the mozzarella, gets strewn all over, followed by our marinated and grilled chicken pieces. A modest shower of red onions over the top, and voila! Into the oven it goes.
What comes out is a heavenly spectacle: bubbly molten cheese that makes your heart sing Italian love songs, gloriously bright red onions adding the oomph, and chicken pieces so smoky, they put the ‘barbeque’ in BBQ.
So there you have it, amigos – my way to a lip-smacking BBQ chicken pizza. Trust me, once you’ve had a bite, you’ll be left hankering for more, exclaiming, “Now, that’s what I call a pizza”!

– Gather the ingredients: For the dough, you’ll need flour, yeast, warm water, sugar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. For the topping, assemble BBQ sauce, mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken breast, red onion, and cilantro.
– Start by making the pizza dough. Mix yeast with warm water and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit until foamy. Add olive oil, then mix in the flour and salt. Knead until dough is smooth.
– Now cover dough with a clean cloth and leave it to rise for about an hour.
– While the dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Begin by thinly slicing your pre-cooked chicken breasts and red onion.
– Preheat your oven to its highest setting.
– Once the dough has risen, roll it out into your desired pizza shape.
– Spread a generous amount of BBQ sauce on the rolled out dough.
– Sprinkle your mozzarella over top, making sure to cover all areas.
– Add your sliced chicken and red onion evenly on top.
– Pop your creation into the oven. Bake until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned, around 10 to 15 minutes.
– Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top.
– Slice, serve, and enjoy! There you have it—a super delicious and easy-to-make BBQ Chicken Pizza.
