    What goes on a BBQ Chicken Pizza?

    • Refrigerated pizza dough – I use canned pizza dough, but you can use homemade or any prepared dough that you like.
    • BBQ sauce – Choose your favorite brand!
    • Shredded rotisserie chicken – or use leftover shredded chicken or even turkey.
    • Shredded mozzarella cheese
    • Thinly sliced red onions

    How to Make BBQ Chicken Pizza

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine the shredded chicken with half of the barbecue sauce in a mixing bowl.

    Unroll the pizza dough on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the rest of the BBQ sauce over the top. Leave a small border for the crust.

    Sprinkle some cheese over the sauce and top it with the chicken mixture. Add the onions, and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top.

    Bake the pizza at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

    Recipe Tips

    You don’t have to use all of the BBQ sauce on your pizza – you can make it as saucy as you like.

    I like mozzarella cheese on pizza because it melts so well, but sometimes I substitute half of it with cheddar cheese to change the flavor.

    If you don’t like onions feel free to leave them off.

    With so many different BBQ sauces, it’s fun to try different types on your barbecue chicken pizza. You can use spicy or mild BBQ sauce or one that is sweeter or tangier.

    You can also add a dipping sauce for dipping the crusts. We like ranch dressing or serve some extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

    If you have leftover pizza, store it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. It will keep for several days and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.

    What to Serve with BBQ Pizza

    • Add some cheesy garlic breadsticks on the side.
    • Serve your pizza with a simple house salad or Greek salad.
    • Make a Caesar salad and leave off the chicken.
    • Add some air fryer mozzarella sticks to go with it.
