When I was visiting my friend Marsha in Michigan, she ordered us an amazing BBQ chicken pizza from her local pizzeria for dinner one night. And since I can’t get them to deliver to me in Denmark, I had to re-create it at home. I added cilantro and corn for some extra color and flavor, and have to say it turned out delicious! Now if only Marsha were here to eat it with me…
Ingredients:
Pizza Dough (recipe can be found separately on this site)
1 1/2 cup cooked rotisserie chicken, chopped
3/4 cup bottled barbecue sauce, hickory honey flavor, divided (I prefer Bullseye brand because it has no high fructose corn syrup)
1 cup smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 small red onion, sliced into rings
1/3 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions:
- Pre heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spray 12-inch pizza pan with Pam cooking spray.
- Place pizza crust in pan, pressing around edges to form a rim.
- Pre-bake crust 5 minutes.
- Remove crust from oven and set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss chopped chicken with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Set aside.
- Spread remaining barbecue sauce evenly over pizza crust.
- Sprinkle Gouda and mozzarella cheeses evenly over sauce.
- Top cheese evenly with chicken.
- Top chicken evenly with onions and corn.
- Place pizza in oven and bake 15-20 minutes, until crust is light brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Remove pizza from oven and sprinkle evenly with cilantro.

I wish I was there to eat it, BBQ chicken pizza is my favorite! I think we all know that your pizza is better than anything you can find in DeWitt, Michigan.
Help form KP is needed! I always have a hard time figuring out how much food to make, especially when I have friends with kids over. I always over prepare. Could you give me a recipe or two that are kid friendly with a guide of how many people it would serve. For example when I have my sister-in-law’s family over there are a total of 4 adults, then a 9 year old, who eats like an adult if she likes it, a 6 year old and two 3 year olds!! If any one has the answer it is you!
