Easy, quick, yum!  This a great weeknight meal which we eat quite a bit at our house.  Enjoy!
BBQ Chicken Pizza

Print this recipe!
  • 1 Whole Wheat pizza shell - I use Boboli
  • 1 Chicken breast
  • 1/2 C thinly sliced red onion – mandolins are great for this!
  • 1-1 1/2 C reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese – shredded
  • 1 C of your favorite BBQ Sauce, plus extra for chicken

Bake the chicken breast with a bit of your favorite BBQ sauce in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or sauté over medium high heat until cooked through.  Let cool and chop into small pieces.

When assembling the pizza, for the best results you should layer in an "inside out" or in a reverse manner.
First, put a layer of cheese directly on the crust.

Then spread the chicken on top of the cheese.

Next, place the thinly sliced red onion on top.

Lastly, pour/dribble the BBQ sauce on top.  The sauce will caramelize and get even sweeter in the oven.

You can do more or less of each ingredient depending on your personal preference.  Don't be afraid to play around with it and make it your own.
Bake on the oven rack at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
Delish!
