I’ve been dying to make pizza on the grill all summer long. When my friend Jacky and I made plans to get together, I immediately invited her over to do just that.
I had recently seen an incredibly easy recipe for BBQ chicken pizza on My Baking Addiction (one of my favorite blogs!) and knew I had to make this. Lloyd loves BBQ chicken pizza. I posted a very similar recipe for BBQ chicken pizza and Lloyd’s love for it back in January. Seeing this recipe reminded me of that pizza, and I wanted to make it slightly differently, and try it on the grill. It seemed like the perfect meal to bid adieu to summer.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Serves 2-3 people
Very slightly adapted from My Baking Addiction
Ingredients
-
1 package dough, or homemade dough
-
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
-
1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
-
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
-
2 cups Pepper Jack Cheese
Directions
-
Light grill and spread dough. Spray one side of dough with cooking spray, and cook until the bottom is slightly browned and crust has formed. It should be “heavy” enough to remove from grill in one piece.
-
Remove from grill and spread BBQ sauce over browned side dough.
-
Add chicken, onion, and cheese.
-
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Cut into squares; garnish with cilantro.
This pizza hit the spot! The grilled crust lent the crust a wonderful consistency and just a hint of a smoky flavor. (Bonus for not having to turn on the oven!) The barbecue sauce was a nice deviation from the standard red sauce, and I think it’s a must when making this pizza. (Do not try to achieve a tangy, smoky BBQ chicken pizza and use red sauce!) Since last time I used mozzarella, it was nice to switch it up with the Pepper Jack, with its creamy, mild flavor and its gooey-melted texture.
Sadly, Lloyd was not home to enjoy this meal… just means I’ll have to make it again!
yummmmm love bbq chicken pizza.
I made BBQ chicken pizza this summer — not on the grill (yum), but it was easily one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten.
i am addicted to grilled pizza! love the BBQ chicken version!
BBQ, red onion (purple onion) Sublime! How was your summer? Mine was crazy as hell!!!! Pepper Jack cheese, send me a block darling!!!
This makes me even more bummed that we don’t have a grill. I have been seeing grilled pizza all over the blog world & have been dying to make it.
BBQ chicken pizza is one of my favorites too
Delish. I bet Lloyd was sad he missed it!
@elle marie, Summer was excellent but flew by!
@janetha @ meals & moves, Me too! I did it too late in the summer… next summer, more grilled pizza! I suppose I could try the Griddler…
@Liz (Little Bitty Bakes), This is the 2nd version I’ve tried- amazing!
BBQ chicken is my boyfriend’s favourite pizzas so I’m going to have to make this for him soon! It looks delicious.
I have never been a big BBQ chicken pizza person…but yours makes me want a slice. Or five.
Glad you finally got a chance to grill pizza! This looks like a fantastic choice:-)
@Lauren at Keep It Sweet, Delicious and easy!
@Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun, Try it! It was phenom!
@Kathryn, Truly easy, too!
Of all the pizzas I’ve concocted, I have yet to do BBQ. Looks tasty and love the thin slices of red onion! (as well as your bright pink nailpolish!)
I still haven’t tried making grilled pizza, can you believe that? Cook it inside all the time but have yet to toss it on the grill. This looks really good!
Sounds wonderful. Wish I lived on the firsr floor so I could have a gill and try it.
This pizza sounds simply wonderful. Can’t wait to copy this- thanks for sharing!
I love how simple this recipe is. Looks delish…my husband loves BBQ chicken pizza too.
I love that you used pepper jack cheese – what a great idea. It is one of my favorites.
um, YUM!
Oooh pepper jack and BBQ sauce, definitely a good combo! I’ve never made grilled pizza before, but this sure sounds mouth-watering!
When I go to CPK, I order this every single time. BBQ chicken pizza is amazing!
