Homemade pizza is easy, cheap, and fun, especially on the weekends! While you can never go wrong with traditional cheese and pepperoni, give BBQ chicken a chance and you wont be disappointed! You can cook your own chicken and shred it for this recipe, or use a rotisserie chicken, which gives great flavor and cuts the prep time in half! This is the easiest recipe and tastes just as great as CPK’s BBQ Chicken pizza!

We love barbecue chicken pizza and my daughter’s suggestion was to add apple butter to the barbecue sauce, which made it especially good.

Is there anyway I can use an already made pizza dough from the store? If so, which kind would be the best for this recipe?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Destiny, Sure you can use a pre-made crust! You could use one of the refrigerated pizza doughs–just layer the BBQ Pizza toppings on the raw dough and bake it according to the package instructions. Or you could even use flat bread or a Boboli type of already cooked pizza crust–add the toppings and cook at 500 degrees F for just a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
