Ingredients

Homemade BBQ Sauce

  • 1 cup Ketchup
  • ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp Salt

BBQ Chicken Pizza

  • 1 Pizza Dough
  • Corn Meal
  • 1-2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • Homemade BBQ Sauce
  • 5-6 slices Provolone Slices
  • 4 oz Mozzarella Cheese - Shredded
  • ¼ Purple Onion - very thinly sliced
  • 1-2 cups Shredded Chicken rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken
  • 4 Scallions (green onions) - roughly chopped, the white sections will be used on the pizza and the green sections will be garnish once the pizza is baked.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
    If you are using a pizza stone, put that in the oven when it's cold so that it can preheat with the oven up to 400F.
    If you are using a sheet pan it does not need to be preheated.
  • In a sauce pan, whisk together the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. Heat over medium low heat until the sugar dissolves. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the pan to prevent burning. Continue to cook until the ketchup flavor milds, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
    Take off heat and set aside.
  • On the counter, sprinkle corn meal and roll out the pizza dough to your preferred shape.
  • Once preheated, pull the pizza stone out of the oven, sprinkle with corn meal and carefully transfer the dough to the preheated pizza stone.
    If you are using a sheet pan, sprinkle the pan with corn meal and transfer the prepared dough to the sheet pan.
  • Sprinkle on corn meal and drizzle on the olive oil.
  • Spread on the BBQ sauce, save some for later.
  • Top with provolone cheese and shredded chicken. Drizzle the chicken with the remainder BBQ Sauce.
  • Top with the purple onion and white pieces of the scallions. Cover with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake at 400F for 13-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the chopped green scallions.
