The best BBQ Chicken Pizza!

When I think of comfort food, my brain immedietly thinks of pizza. Hot, crispy, chewy, mouthwatering pizza. Inspired by Bottoms Up, this is a simple, no-brainer recipe. With some simple staple ingredients that I ALWAYS keep in my fridge, I can throw together this sweet, tangy and irrestible pizza in under 20 minutes. It is sure to disappear before any crowd. PLEASE be sure to use Sweet Baby Rays sauce and don't forget to keep an eye on your crust so it doesn't burn!!

BBQ Chicken Pizza
Serves: 2-4
Cook time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS:

1 pizza crust (I recommend Pillsbury Thin Crust in the tube)
2-3 tbs Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup turkey pepperoni
3 cups mozzarella cheese



INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Spread the pizza crust on a preheated pizza stone. (To preheat your pizza stone, leave in the oven while it heats to temperature - this helps to create a nice crust.) Bake for 5-6 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  3. Remove pizza crust from oven and spread the BBQ sauce over the crust. I like to go all the way to the edge to get a sweet crust.
  4. Add 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese to sauce. NOTE: This helps secure the top cheese to the crust so it doesn't just slide off.
  5. Sprinkle the chicken and pepperoni over the crust and top with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.




FOR AN EXTRA TOUCH: Add some caramelized onions or chopped bacon.
