BBQ Chicken Pizza

bbqpizzacollage 578x1024 - BBQ Chicken Pizza

Apparently my son started getting a ‘little bored’ with just plain old pizza on our Friday pizza nights.  So, as only a true foodie would, I made the most incredible Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, Feta and Spinach with a White Sauce thinking I just knocked it out of the park!

The adults thought it was off the hook.

Kids …. eh not so much. Probably an onion thing and there’s LOTS of ’em!

So I have been tasked with making a KID FRIENDLY pizza.  And BBQ chicken was the main ingredient!  So off I went into the kitchen and concocted this now most requested pizza!

This is as simple a pizza as there is, honestly.   I used to make my own pizza dough, however, I find going to my local pizza place and picking up some fresh dough works just as well these days.

Here are a few tips:

  • I used a combination of mozzarella cheese AND smoked gouda.  If you can find smoked mozzarella that would work also, I just can’t ever find it.  The smokiness of the cheese enhances the bbq flavor and they pair so well together.
  • I used jarred jalapenos and next time I would use fresh.  I find the jarred jalapenos have an extra bite to them that you don’t find with fresh.
  • If there are no kids, definitely add red onions, but omit if they throw a fit.
  • Make sure your oven is hot … and I mean HOT.  Get it up to 425 – 450 and give it 10 minutes or so to really get hot.
  • And the last tip is .. get yourself a pizza stone.  They are fairly inexpensive and require very little upkeep.  They give your pizza that extra crispiness on the bottom of the pizza.
