How to Make Bbq Chicken Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare the pizza sauce: In a medium bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon dried basil.
  3. Sauté aromatics: In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/3 of a medium onion (roughly chopped). Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Combine sauce ingredients: Stir the sautéed garlic and onion into the tomato mixture.
  5. Prepare the chicken: Dice 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into medium squares.
  6. Cook the chicken: In the same saucepan, cook the chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked through (about 6-8 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  7. Add BBQ sauce: Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce to the cooked chicken.
  8. Assemble the pizza: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over a pre-made pizza crust (12-14 inches).
  9. Top the pizza: Distribute the cooked BBQ chicken and the remaining 2/3 of the chopped onion over the sauce. Sprinkle generously with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
