This BBQ Chicken Pizza is loaded with smoky BBQ sauce, seasoned chicken, melty cheese, and crispy bacon. A surprisingly delicious combo that everyone will love!A Fun Twist On Pizza NightThis BBQ Chicken Pizza has been my sons favorite pizza recently. This kind of pizza has been around a while, and I think it was California Pizza kitchen that really popularized it! Its so good and Ive seen variations of it at other restaurants over the years. Frequently Asked Questions:What else can I add to this pizza? My son loves my Homemade Ranch Dressing to dip the pizza in. It hits sooooo good! But storebought ranch could work too. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. How can I get a good crispy crust? It can seem hard to get a good crispy crust on pizzas cooked in a home oven, but a pizza stone (affiliate link) can really help with that. What to serve with BBQ Chicken Pizza? Serve with a side of extra BBQ sauce or a side of ranch for dipping. As usual, my go to for sides are a nice, big salad and/ or some steamed veggies. Its simple, makes a dinner go further and it is never a bad thing to up your veggies. Can I make this ahead of time? You can prep the toppings ahead, but pizza is best baked fresh. You can also parbake the crust and assemble later. Why is the baking temp so high? Its important to go with the higher heat to help achieve a crispier crust and a chewy interior. Some people dont realize how hot an oven needs to be for a pizza, but at least it cooks quickly. How do I store and reheat leftover pizza? Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 375F oven until warmed through. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe) chicken breasts For a shortcut, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of freshly grilled chicken. You can also use the pre-cooked grilled chicken in bags that are sold in the freezer section (just make sure it is defrosted first).store-bought pizza dough use whatever brand you prefer, or you can make some Homemade Pizza Dough.BBQ sauce any brand that you enjoy should work nicely. I truly think its so important to go with a flavor you enjoy. A lot of times I get whats on sale, but, Sweet Baby Rays is always a good, solid choice. Homemade BBQ Sauce is always a great option too. For a smokier flavor, use a hickory or mesquite BBQ sauce.shredded mozzarella cheese Swap out mozzarella for a blend of mozzarella and smoked Gouda for a deeper flavor.bacon cooked and crumbled. I prefer bacon that you freshly made, but you can use the bagged bacon pieces if you are in a pinch. I like to pop bacon in the oven for easy clean up or make some Air Fryer Bacon.red onion this is an optional ingredientItalian seasoning another optional ingredientHow To Make BBQ Chicken Pizza: Preheat the oven to 475F.
