Soft pillowy pizza dough with the most insanely good mixture of BBQ sauce, chicken, cheeses, onion and cilantro. It’s putting cheese pizza to shame.
Pizza is my favorite food. This BBQ chicken pizza recipe is the best! My husband and I have been making pizza at home for so many years, it’s just second nature.
And when I say my husband and I, I mean me (haha), if you asked him what’s the first step I think he’d say eat the pizza. It’s easier than you think to make a pie at home and you always have fresh out of the oven pizza and it’s a healthier alternative to store bought pizza.
Over the years we’ve tested out all sorts of variations of toppings but BBQ chicken is one of my families all time favorites. After years of making it I’d like to think I’ve perfected this recipe too. I top it with cilantro after it’s cooked in the oven, I like that refreshing herb taste, it really kicks the flavor profile up a notch, or ten. Check it out below.
