Easy Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza
This bbq chicken pizza is so good, SO easy, and ready in 15 minutes! And everyone, including kids, love pizza for dinner! This bbq pizza recipe is almost a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and it’s super easy to make. If you plan on making your own pizza dough from scratch, give yourself more than 15 minutes to make this recipe. Typically, pizza dough needs at least an hour to rise, so plan accordingly. If you want a high-quality pizza dough but don’t feel like making it yourself, buy some from your local pizza parlor. They usually sell dough by the pound and are more than happy to give it to you! Besides that, this bbq chicken pizza is a cinch to make. BBQ sauce, cheese, and shredded chicken are the main ingredients, and you bake this pizza for around 10 minutes. I honestly don’t think I could’ve made this recipe easier if I tried!

How to Make BBQ Chicken Pizza
This bbq chicken pizza recipe couldn’t be simpler! For the fastest recipe, use a high-quality pizza dough either from the grocery store or from your local slice shop. Note that I prefer using pre-shredded mozzarella cheese for this recipe. To save yourself even more time, use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for this recipe (omit the skin though). Rotisserie chicken is super moist and it saves you from having to bake and shred the chicken yourself. When cutting the red onion, make sure to slice it quite thinly. This pizza won’t be in the oven for long, and you don’t want to bite down on raw onion. You can also make your own homemade pizza dough in 1 hour OR make it in about 15 minutes using just two ingredients. Below is an overview of the cooking process for this bbq pizza recipe with chicken:
