BBQ Chicken pizza for me is either really good, or not good at all. I realized while eating at Patxi's why the pizza seemed so much better than any I had before. Bottom line - it was pizza, not just BBQ sauce and chicken on the crust. Let me explain. They put regular pizza sauce on the pizza! Yup, that's the secret! The chicken has BBQ sauce on it, but not the whole pizza. You'll have to try it and let me know what you think!
Here is the order:
Crust
Pizza Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
BBQ Chicken
Bacon
Jalapeno peppers
Let me break it down:
Crust
Use my Yummy Gluten Free Pizza Crust. You can also buy a Udi's frozen crust, or use your favorite gluten free recipe.
Pizza Sauce
This pizza sauce recipe is hands down the best I've ever tasted! Remember, use regular pizza sauce, not BBQ sauce!
Mozzarella Cheese
Shredded
BBQ Chicken
Use whatever kind of chicken you like; breasts, chicken tenders, or thighs. Cut about 1 lb into bite-sized pieces and cook in a saucepan over medium high heat with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Add your favorite BBQ Sauce. My personal recommendation is Sweet Baby Ray's Original. Mix in enough sauce to nicely coat the chicken, and heat through.
Bacon
Cook 1 lb of bacon. Cool then break into pieces.
Jalapeno Peppers
My family likes things a little spicy, but not too hot. I chose to cut the jalapeno down one side and take out the seeds. This was perfect because you still had a little kick from the pepper, but it wasn't really hot. Slice the pepper.
Cook the pizza as indicated on the crust recipe.
Enjoy!
