Easy (and delicious) BBQ Chicken Pizza
Confession time: we eat A LOT of pizza at my house. To be completely honest, at least once a week, I send my husband on a pizza run. Call it a pregnancy craving if you must, but I hear no complaints when I announce that we will be having pizza AGAIN for dinner. Pizza is something that we genuinely enjoy eating together as a family. This week, I decided to mix it up a little and make some homemade pizza; after all, there’s nothing like fresh ingredients. Because my family typically gravitates towards the traditional pepperoni pizza, I decided to take a different approach: BBQ Chicken Pizza. This easy (and DELICIOUS) BBQ Chicken Recipe is sure to win over every member of the family!

Easy (and delicious) BBQ Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
Crust:聽(my new favorite pizza crust recipe comes compliments of Fleischmann’s Yeast)
– 2 cups flour
– 1 packet Fleishmann’s Pizza Yeast
– 1 1/2 tsp sugar
– 3/4 tsp salt
– 2/3 c warm water
– 3 T vegetable oil
Toppings:
– 1/2 bottle BBQ sauce
– 2 cups mozzarella cheese
– 2-3 chicken breasts
– 1 red onion (I only use about 1/8 of the onion)
– 1 bunch cilantro (I use about 1/4 of the bunch)
Instructions:
1. Combine and mix 1 cup flour, Fleishmann’s Pizza Yeast, sugar and salt. Add water and oil.聽Mix together until all ingredients are well blended.
2. Gradually add an additional 1/2 cup of flour until dough starts to form a ball.
3. Put dough on floured surface and knead dough until smooth.
4. Roll dough into a circle with a rolling pin and place on a round greased pizza pan (a 12-14 inch pan works best).
5. Generously spread BBQ sauce over pizza. Top with mozzarella cheese.
6. Dice cilantro (to taste), red onion, and boiled (or grilled) chicken breasts. Spread toppings evenly on pizza. If desired, drizzle additional BBQ sauce on pizza.
7. Now comes the hardest part – waiting for the pizza to bake with the incredible aroma of BBQ Chicken Pizza filling the air. Bake pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes (be sure to check after 10 minutes) at 425. Serves 4 people.
Fleishmann’s Yeast truly makes this delicious BBQ Chicken Recipe an easy and healthier alternative to carry-out pizza. Loaded with fresh ingredients and baked in less than 30 minutes, our weekly family pizza night has never tasted so good!

I love homemade pizza just as much as bought pizza, both are good in their own way. Your crust looks super easy I might have to try this recipe next time I make one!

Thanks for this. My kids’ll eat just about anything if it’s nailed to a pizza. I’ve never made my own crust for a homemade pizza though.
I love making my own pizza. We try to make it a few times a month.
This looks and sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite kind of pizza is a nice, thin crust veggie pizza. Hubby and I are planning to start making our own pizza dough. We cook together, picking things out of our comfort zone and dough is way out of our comfort zone 馃檪
WOW, that looks so yummy. I’ve only seen this type in pizzerias!
I have to admit pixxa is my favorite food and I too could eat this almost nightly. I am not pregnant so cant blame it on that I just love pizza. Oddly thogh, I am not one to have either chicken nor fish on pizza, I know I am oodd, but unless it is really good I can handle either. This doesnt look too bad and being homemade I just might change my mind!
Pizza is my absolute favorite food to eat, and make. This BBQ pizza looks delicious. Thanks for the recipe and detailed steps.
I am so terrible about making pizza dough from scratch! I always seem to mess it up along the way!
I never think to make my own pizza anymore but I need to soon, this looks too good not to be made! So easy too!
I love homemade crust, it is the best! Pizza night in our home is always fun, this BBQ pizza looks incredible.
I’ve never made my own pizza crust. This pizza looks so good. BBQ chicken as a topping sounds so good!
