BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe

Sharing is caring!

This was the first time I’ve ever had BBQ Chicken Pizza. I’ve seen it before on Menus, but I’ve never given it a try. I knew I was going to have to come up with something different for Clay if I was making a Mushroom Garlic Pizza for me! This one sounded perfect, especially because Publix had the crust, cheese, and BBQ sauce on sale this week. I think they had the bacon on sale too!

BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe:

Homemade pizza is so much better than frozen or delivery. The other week I had a headache from you-know-where, so we ordered some pizza. Ella was shocked when she realized that somebody was delivering it to our house. “They’re bringing it to our house??” she asked. “Yes, baby, they do that!” was my response 🙂 I would rather have this pizza than Pizza Hut any day. There are a few steps involved, but don’t let that deter you from making it. Once it’s in the oven, you can forget about it and get the table set. This would be great for “Movie Night” with some friends. You know they will be impressed when you made the pizza! And don’t forget about the other pizza I’ve made, the Hawaiian Chicken Alfredo Pizza. All different, but equally delicious!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

 

BBQ Chicken Pizza Ingredients:

1 14-oz. can Pillsbury Pizza Crust
6 slices bacon
1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

How To Make BBQ Chicken Pizza:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the dough out on a large baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Pull out and set aside.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion until it has softened about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, about 10-15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, slice the bacon into bite-size chunks and cook over medium heat in a large skillet until browned. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Pour off some of the fat they accumulated in the pan- all but about one tablespoon. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook in the pan over medium heat about 5-6 minutes per side, or until no longer pink. Remove from the pan and shred when cool enough to handle.

Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the crust and sprinkle with the shredded chicken, caramelized onion, bacon, and feta cheese. Top the entire pizza with shredded mozzarella. Bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and the pizza is golden brown around the edges, about 15 more minutes.

Enjoy!
