BBQ Chicken Pizza

Posted April 17, 2026 by Prairie Wife -

BBQ Chicken Pizza is an easy-to-make meal that is always a crowd pleaser around here. I tend to add it to our meal plan when we’ve had something with shredded chicken earlier in the week. That way, I can set aside some of the cooked and shredded chicken in a Tupperware container and pull it out when I’m making our pizza. It saves me some time and makes this already simple meal even easier!

Per usual, there are suggestions for add-ons to the recipe at the end! In our family, we like to make half of the pizza for those who like things hot and spicy and the other half for those of us with a more delicate palate. That’s another reason I like to make pizza, it’s easy to customize it for our family’s individual tastes!
