Barbecue Chicken Pizza
Happy Saturday friends! I'm making my list for the grocery store and I realized I haven't shared my Barbecue Chicken Pizza recipe on here in such a long time. It's my most requested recipe to date. Probably because 1. it's so quick and easy and 2. who doesn't like pizza? We make variations with pesto chicken, goat cheese and fig butter, bruschetta style, etc. The possibilities are endless!
*Just a side note for anyone who doesn't eat dairy, we use Daiya cheddar and mozzarella style shreds for Tagg--it's the best dairy free alternative out there and a dream for those with food allergies, intolerances or follow a plant-based diet.
I'm in no way affiliated with Daiya and this post isn't sponsored, I just really really love this brand and I want to share it with you. It's hard to find packaged foods that are fully safe for my son because he has a severe life-threatening allergy to dairy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts and any possible cross-contamination from those foods. Daiya products are free from the Top Eight Allergens (dairy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, fish, shell fish, and soy) and made in a dedicated facility (or dedicated lines for cheescake, cheezymac, and dressings). And most importantly they are completely transparent about their sourcing, manufacturing procedures, suppliers, and ingredients. You would be blown away to know how hard it is to find out exactly whats in the food you're consuming.
Okay, off my soapbox and back to the recipe.
Ingredients:
Pizza crust (bake according to directions on the package)
Olive Oil
Shredded Chicken (I almost always use rotisserie chicken)
Barbecue Sauce (I like sweet baby rays)
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese or Italian Blend Cheese
Shredded Cheddar Cheese or Colby/Jack Blend Cheese
Red Onion (sliced thin)
Fresh Cilantro (diced)
BEST PIZZA EVER!!!!
