Pizza night just got even more delicious! An easy homemade crust is the base for this pizza made with chicken, barbecue sauce, mozzarella and colby jack cheese, and red onion. This is what every weekend (and weeknight!) calls for.
This recipe was initially published in May of 2018 but I just updated it with new photos, our go-to homemade crust recipe, and better directions!
I hardly need to explain why pizza is our favorite. It’s pizza – enough said. But, this one is our FAVORITE because its simple to make and we almost always have the ingredients on hand. Yes. Yes. Yes. We cannot get enough of this.
Our Favorite Bbq Chicken Pizza
It’s especially great in the summer when you still wanna cook at home, but you don’t really want to overheat the house by having the oven on for an hour – ya know? And, if you’re especially pinched for time, you can of course sub a pre-made crust. We love using Rhodes bread dough as pizza crust (not sponsored, although we do work with and love them!) and you can find ready-to-bake pizza crusts near the pizza sauce at most grocery stores.
First, we’re mixing yeast, sugar, and warm water together. Then, we’ll stir in flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead that a few times into a smooth ball and let it rise for 45 minutes.
Next, we’ll punch it down, flatten it out, and add our toppings! See? I told you it was easy! I think I could probably make this in my sleep by now – no joke!?
Smokey Barbecue Chicken Pizza
Do NOT skip the step where you toss your chicken in barbecue sauce – it adds so much more flavor this way, and nobody wants a bland pizza. Trust me, we’ve learned the hard way.

Pizza night just got even more delicious! An easy homemade crust is the base for this pizza made with chicken, barbecue sauce, mozzarella and colby jack cheese, and red onion.
NOTE: You can totally make this with homemade pizza crust to! We were just feeling a little on the lazy side and bought pre-made crust. Combine a whole wheat pizza crust, homemade clean BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, sliced red onions, and fresh cilantro for the Best BBQ Chicken Pizza ever! This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill.
Pizza is simply the best. There are so many different styles, from Neapolitan, thin-crusted, deep dish, and so on. I love that, when it comes to toppings, you can put WHATEVER you want: meats, veggies, fruits, seafood… and your favorite cheese and sauce!
The Best Ever Homemade Bbq Chicken Pizza
By now, you probably already know that I love combining two (or more) of my favorite things into one flavorful combo. Duh.
So, I decided to give it a go one more time. What better way to do it than to experiment with pizza toppings, right?
I’ve always really liked the combo of chicken and barbecue sauce so I figured I’d try it out on my own homemade pizza recipe and make a barbecue chicken pizza using homemade clean barbecue sauce. Problem with most store-bought barbecue sauces is they all have TONS of sugar and unnecessary processed ingredients — I’m looking at you, high fructose corn syrup. Sigh.
Bbq Chicken Pizza Story
It’s probably not a surprise that the most unhealthy part of most pizzas is the crust. That’s because most pizza crust is made from refined flour so you’re really just eating a bunch of highly refined, low protein, low fiber, high carb flour. No thanks.
Now, you could make your own cauliflower crust if you’d like, but I also love a wheat crust. I made this super simple whole wheat pizza crust using Bob’s Red Mill’s Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. More on this later in this post!
Guys, this homemade pizza crust is redonk easy — it just takes about 15 minutes to prep and doesn’t require any yeast. Just add all the ingredients together and bake to pizza crust perfection.
Bbq Chicken Pizza Recipe Easy On The Skillet
Looking for what the heck goes on a BBQ chicken pizza? The answer is quite simple, really. Let’s go over the pieces:
To make a healthy pizza crust, you can make it out of cauliflower rice like this cauliflower pizza crust or you can choose higher nutrient value flour, like whole wheat pastry flour.
Whole wheat pastry flour is high in fiber, unrefined, and has a lighter texture than whole wheat flour so it’s perfect for this pizza crust. Plus there’s no need to use yeast with this easy pizza crust recipe so you can make it within less than 20 minutes – no excuses! You can grab a bag and see for yourself here.
Bbq Chicken Pizza
I strongly recommend you cook your meats before putting them on the pizza. The time the pizza is in the oven isn’t typically enough time for the chicken to become fully cooked on its own so it’s a good idea to cook it through before adding it to the pizza. This also avoids cross contamination of raw meat with the other ingredients. I season and cook my chicken and then shred it before adding to the BBQ chicken pizza – it doesn’t taste tough at all and works perfectly on this pizza.
If you’re looking for the common cheese options for BBQ chicken pizza, one is always gonna be mozzarella. Mozzarella is the perfect cheese for pizza. Its high water content allows the proteins to break apart in the short amount while the pizza is cooking which results in stretchy, gooey deliciousness that we all love so much. Mozzarella melts, bubbles and browns better than any other cheese out there and adding it on top of your pizza is a must. P.S. Have you tried fresh mozzarella – try it and you’ll never go back to the other stuff. It’s amazingly good.
If you’d like to mix the mozzarella with a different cheese, you could also try cheddar to give your homemade pizza a tasty kick.
