Now most of you know, I like to make all my recipes from scratch. Every once in a while, I will cheat. Cheat may not be the right word because for many people, you do not have time to do everything from scratch and having some prepared ingredients can help a ton. For me, the inspiration for this Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza was my new gluten free diet and I wanted to check out a pre-made gluten free pizza crust. It is also the perfect idea for a weeknight meal.
I have made many a pizza dough and it is not too hard to make – including a WHITE GARLIC MOZZARELLA PIZZA, INDIAN PANEER YELLOW CURRY PIZZA and MEXICAN CHIPOTLE PIZZA . But buying a ready made crust meant that I had that pizza assembled and in the oven in about 2 minutes. I had some leftover chicken from my GLUTEN FREE BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICH. I used already minced garlic, a few slices of red onion and some chipotle gouda cheese.
. I really love a white pizza. A white pizza uses garlic and olive oil as its base. You could certainly make a béchamel sauce as well.

I find with a white pizza, the ingredients really shine through. Since I was creating a BBQ pizza, it was the perfect base. The BBQ sauce was also a store bought sauce. So I mean it when I say this dinner came together quickly. Slather the minced garlic over the pizza dough. Next, drizzle the BBQ sauce over but do not overdo it. Then start adding as much toppings as you like. I feel a judicious use of the toppings is in order. I added the cheese first and finished with the chicken and red onions so they would be visible after the cooking. THAT’S IT.
A semi-homemade meal makes weeknight meals a breeze as it did for my family in this Semi-Homemade Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza.This flavor-packed Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza is the easy way to enjoy a restaurant favorite at home.

As a pizza chef at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago restaurant in Los Angeles, he threw tradition out the window and put together all kinds of interesting combinations featuring many ingredients that you might not think to put on pizza. And people fell in love with them!

Every pizza needs to start with a good crust. I always use my favorite Gluten Free Pizza Crust. However, you can use any regular or gluten free crust recipe you prefer. You can even use a mix or a pre-made crust from the grocery store.
Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 450°F, arrange a rack in the bottom third of the oven, and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Whether you are using the gluten free pizza crust I include here or are using your own recipe or a pre-made crust, be sure to follow the directions if par-baking is necessary.
Add the Toppings: Shred or chop your chicken and toss it with some of the barbecue sauce. Spread BBQ sauce over the crust, then top with the chicken. Scatter the cheese on top and add the red onion and bacon.

Finish Baking: Put the pizza back in the oven at 450°F for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

Customize It. You can also start with this base BBQ chicken pizza recipe and then customize it as you like by substituting or adding toppings. Try some of these ideas.

To refrigerate any leftovers, place your leftover pizza slices in a single layer in an airtight container or in a plastic zip-top bag. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to two months if it is tightly sealed.
If you froze the pizza, be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator. Reheat it at 350°F in a toaster oven or regular oven until it is hot and the cheese is melted again.
