There's nothing like homemade pizza. Since I love BBQ Chicken Pizza, making this easy recipe was a no brainer for dinner one night.
Even though I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, there are times when I feel lazy and take some shortcuts. That was the case when I made this pizza. I used Refrigerated Pizza Dough.
You can easily substitute for fresh or frozen pizza dough or even make your Pizza Dough from scratch. But some times I like how quick & easy it is to use pizza dough out of a tube. And it tastes pretty darn good too!
You can use whatever kind of BBQ sauce you have on hand but I usually like to use a sweet BBQ sauce when making this pizza. One of my absolute favorites is Sweet Vidalia Onion BBQ Sauce.
While I personally love Fresh Cilantro, I realize many of you don't care for it so consider the Cilantro an optional ingredient for this recipe.
💭 Recipe Tip
Keep an eye on your pizza so it doesn't burn. Depending on the temperature of the dough when you put it in the oven, the placement of the rack in your oven and your actual oven, your pizza may be ready sooner than expected.
