Loaded BBQ Chicken Pizza

So this spring has basically sucked. After what seemed like a never ending winter the weather has morphed into a cold and wet spring. So basically with this never ending cold rainy weather I have not been able to get out to grill as much as I would like to so I have had to get creative. In the absence of my grill and still craving a good barbecue I have created Loaded BBQ Chicken Pizza.

Loaded BBQ Chicken Pizza is simple to make and the best part is you can use up a lot of leftovers to make it! For the chicken you can use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken or cook up a chicken breast just for the pizza. You can also use leftover corn and onion if you have it. So basically if you are having a real outdoor barbecue and you end up having a lot of leftovers you should definitely make this pizza for dinner the next day!

TIPS & TRICKS:

• If you need a pizza dough recipe check out my Pizza Dough recipe
• If you don’t have a pizza stone yet you should really get one, it makes homemade pizza about one thousand times better

• For this pizza use your favorite barbecue sauce, I usually make a homemade sauce but when I don’t have time I really like to use Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce
