BBQ Chicken Pizza

Homemade pizza is easily our favorite recipe when we don't feel like making something that takes a lot of time.  This past weekend we thought about making our usual pizza - turkey pepperoni and some veggies, but I said no let's think of something new.  The first idea that popped in both our heads was to try out a BBQ chicken pizza.  Let me tell you... this was SO good it might become our new staple!  I did some research to see what others put on their BBQ chicken pizzas and I came up with this recipe as a combo of a bunch of different ideas.

Servings: 8
Serving Size: 1 slice
Points Plus: 5pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 can Pillsbury refigerated pizza dough, classic style

3/4 cup BBQ sauce, divided

6 oz. rotisserie chicken

1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, reduced-fat

1/4 cup red onion, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Open the can of pizza dough and gently shape into a pizza shape on a lightly greased pizza pan. Pre-bake the crust for about 6 minutes in a 400 degree oven before adding toppings.  Once the crust is pre-baked, evenly spread 1/2 cup of of BBQ sauce almost to the edges of the dough.  In a small bowl, combine the rotisserie chicken with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.  Top the pizza with mozzarella cheese, BBQ chicken and sprinkle the diced red onion and chopped cilantro on top.  Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown.

Tip:

Rotisserie chicken is a great easy way to have fresh chicken on hand for a variety of recipes!  Pizza, tacos, add to a pasta dish etc.
