Recipe: BBQ Chicken Pizza
BBQ chicken pizza – it’s cheesy and full of flavour. The perfect Friday night dinner to eat while staying home and watching a movie. Friday is so soon! What movie? I can’t wait to see Wonder Women 1984. Have you watched it? No spoilers, please! Okay, let’s get cooking.
Ingredients
- Gluten free pizza crust
- 1/2 cup of pizza sauce (homemade)
- about 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce
- 1/2 pound of pulled chicken (cooked)
- 250g of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon of red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing
- 3 tablespoons of thinly chopped green onions
- salt to taste
First, make the pizza curst – I still use Bob’s Red Mill and it’s still the best gluten free pizza crust I’ve tried.
For the sauce, make the homemade sauce I have linked above, or your favourite – mix 1/2 a cup with 1/4 cup of your favourite BBQ sauce. I like BBQ sauces with bold deep flavour, not hickory or smoke, but that richness. Heat on low while the dough is resting.
Pull the chicken if you haven’t already. I usually season it with a bit of steak spice and cook it sous vide. You don’t want to use cold chicken, so if it’s been in the fridge for a bit, warm it up in a pan.
Then, roll out your dough as per the best gluten free pizza recipe and bake at 410 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
Shred the cheese and chop the green onions – then, once the crust is done its first round of baking, time to top it up!
Spread the sauce on, then layer on the pulled chicken and top with the shredded cheese and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
Cut, top with green onions, salt and red chili flakes and eat up! Oh, and dip in ranch dressing if you’re up for it!
Looks so good, chicken, cheese and BBQ sauce – the perfect end to a long work week. The best part about the pizza dough recipe above is that it makes two (or three!) and the second or third time you make pizza it’s so quick and easy. Well worth cooking it at home.
Done! There you have it BBQ chicken pizza and a great dinner. Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting. I’ll see you again soon. Don’t forget to eat up!
